IdP (Identity provider) sync allows you to use OpenID Connect (OIDC) to
synchronize Coder groups, roles, and organizations based on claims from your IdP.
## Prerequisites
### Confirm that OIDC provider sends claims
To confirm that your OIDC provider is sending claims, log in with OIDC and visit
the following URL with an `Owner` account:
```text
https://[coder.example.com]/api/v2/debug/[your-username]/debug-link
```
You should see a field in either `id_token_claims`, `user_info_claims` or
both followed by a list of the user's OIDC groups in the response.
This is the [claim](https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#Claims)
sent by the OIDC provider.
Depending on the OIDC provider, this claim might be called something else.
Common names include `groups`, `memberOf`, and `roles`.
See the [troubleshooting section](#troubleshooting-grouproleorganization-sync)

1. Confirm that your OIDC provider is sending claims.
Log in with OIDC and visit the following URL with an `Owner` account:
1. Fetch the corresponding group IDs using the following endpoint:

Depending on the OIDC provider, this claim may be called something else.
Common names include `groups`, `memberOf`, and `roles`.
1. Enter the **Group sync field** and an optional **Regex filter**, then select
**Save**.
1. Configure the Coder server to read groups from the claim name with the
[OIDC group field](../../reference/cli/server.md#--oidc-group-field) server

1. Select **Auto create missing groups** to automatically create groups
returned by the OIDC provider if they do not exist in Coder.

```sh

```
- As a flag:
```sh

```
On login, users will automatically be assigned to groups that have matching
names in Coder and removed from groups that the user no longer belongs to.
For cases when an OIDC provider only returns group IDs or you want to have
different group names in Coder than in your OIDC provider, you can configure
mapping between the two with the
[OIDC group mapping](../../reference/cli/server.md#--oidc-group-mapping) server

```
- As a flag:
```sh
--oidc-group-mapping '{"myOIDCGroupID": "myCoderGroupName"}'
```
Below is an example mapping in the Coder Helm chart:
```yaml
coder:
env:
- name: CODER_OIDC_GROUP_MAPPING
value: >
{"myOIDCGroupID": "myCoderGroupName"}
```
From the example above, users that belong to the `myOIDCGroupID` group in your
OIDC provider will be added to the `myCoderGroupName` group in Coder.
