# Contentful Integration Guide

You can integrate PingFederate with Contentful for provisioning and single sign-on (SSO). This integration uses the downloadable SCIM Connector.

## Features

* Manages users in Contentful based on changes in a datastore that is attached to PingFederate.

  * Creates and deletes users.

  * Allows you to enable the create and delete capabilities independently.

    |   |                                                                                                                                                                                |
    | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
    |   | Contentful doesn't allow attribute updates for existing users. When a user is "deleted", they are removed from the organization, but not removed from the Contentful platform. |

* Manages groups in Contentful based on changes in your datastore.

  * Creates, updates, and deletes groups.

  * Updates group memberships.

* Enables browser-based SSO initiated by the identity provider (IdP) or service provider (SP).
