Direct Answer
No. The Employee Identifier setting in Company Settings does not affect SCIM or SAML integrations. Changing the identifier between email and Employee ID has no impact on how SCIM provisioning or SAML Single Sign-On operates.
What the Employee Identifier Setting Controls
The Employee Identifier setting controls how 15Five matches employee records during:
- CSV bulk imports
- SFTP data transfers
- HRIS integration syncs
When you switch the identifier from email to Employee ID (or vice versa), only these import and sync mechanisms are affected.
Why SCIM and SAML Are Not Affected
SCIM and SAML integrations use their own identity matching mechanisms that operate independently of the Employee Identifier setting in Company Settings.
