Capabilities

The Canva connector syncs the following resources: Accounts sync from Canva SCIM v2. Groups sync with membership grants. Roles are a synthetic catalog (Admin, Member, Guest) derived from each user’s SCIM role. Teams sync from the Canva Admin API when optional Admin API credentials are configured.

​
Gather Canva credentials

You need a Canva SCIM bearer token with user and group read/write access. Team sync also requires Admin API OAuth client credentials. Treat all secrets as sensitive.
1
Sign in to your Canva enterprise admin console as a user who can manage SCIM provisioning.
2
Generate a SCIM bearer token for your tenant. Canva documents SCIM v2 at https://www.canva.com/_scim/v2.
3
Confirm the token has the permissions required for this connector:
  • SCIM Users:Read and SCIM Users:Write
  • SCIM Groups:Read and SCIM Groups:Write
4
Optional: to sync Teams, create an OAuth 2.0 client in Canva for the Admin API and copy the client ID and client secret. Team sync requires Admin API Teams:Read.
SCIM is the primary surface for users, groups, roles, and provisioning. The Admin API is optional and is only required for the team resource type.

Provisioning behavior

  • Create account creates a SCIM v2 user with work email, given name, family name, and active set to true.
  • Group grant/revoke updates group membership with SCIM PatchOp add/remove operations.
  • Delete account deactivates the user with a SCIM PatchOp that sets active to false (Canva’s recommended soft deactivation).

​
Fields not synced

Canva does not expose manager chain, department, division, cost center, title, employment type, hire date, termination date, or custom enterprise extensions. Non-work email, locale, phone, address, government IDs, and compensation attributes are excluded by design.
