Troubleshooting

  • Ensure there are no extra spaces or characters
  • Confirm the service account is still active in JumpCloud

  • Verify the custom admin role includes Full User Management, Full Group Management, and Device Management
  • Check that the role is assigned to the service account
  • See JumpCloud’s custom admin roles documentation for help configuring roles
Cause: Sync may still be in progress or credentials have limited scope.Solution:
  • Allow a few minutes for the initial sync to complete
  • Verify the integration status shows as connected in Settings > Integrations
  • Check that users and groups exist in the JumpCloud organization linked to your credentials
