Jumpcloud

JumpCloud is reimagining the on-prem directory as a cloud-based platform that secures identities, manages devices, and provides safe access to all types of IT resources — on-prem, in the cloud, across Windows, Mac, or Linux.

About Jumpcloud Roles

JumpCloud’s Directory as a Service (DaaS) empowers organizations to effortlessly deploy a corporate directory that seamlessly connects to workstations, laptops, and servers, regardless of their location – be it in the office, on the road, or in a data center. Much like Active Directory and LDAP, JumpCloud efficiently manages user and computer accounts, granting system access based on predefined roles through the utilization of User Groups and Computer Groups.

Expanding the capabilities of the JumpCloud directory to various platforms enables the extension of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to practically every facet of your organization, including the multitude of cloud service providers you employ. JumpCloud has been purposefully designed to integrate flawlessly with Google Apps, Radius, LDAP, and virtually any other cloud service you can envision.

Moreover, the JumpCloud directory can be effortlessly synchronized with identity and single sign-on providers such as Bitium, Okta, and others. These vendors enable streamlined single sign-on to third-party SaaS platforms via SAML, which is rapidly becoming the standard for delegated authentication to third-party SaaS platforms. By syncing user and group information from JumpCloud to your identity provider, the same groups can be leveraged to automatically provision access to third-party SaaS platforms, streamlining the process for your users.
