Configure Sentry's Organization-Team-Project hierarchy, role assignments, SSO/SAML2 federation, SCIM automated provisioning, API token governance, and audit logging. Covers the full enterprise access control lifecycle from initial setup through ongoing compliance monitoring.
Prerequisites
Sentry Business or Enterprise plan — team-level roles, SSO, SCIM, and audit logs require Business tier or higher
Organization Owner or Manager role — only these roles can configure auth, teams, and member roles
Identity Provider access — admin credentials for Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace if configuring SSO/SCIM
Environment variables set:
export SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN="sntrys_..."# Auth token with org:admin, member:admin, team:admin scopesexport SENTRY_ORG="your-org-slug"# Organization slug from sentry.io/settings/
Instructions
Step 1 — Establish the Organization-Team-Project Hierarchy
Sentry's access model flows top-down: Organization > Teams > Projects. Members inherit permissions from their org-level role, then gain project access through team membership.
Organization-level roles define the ceiling of what a member can do:
Role
Capabilities
Typical Use
Owner
Full control: billing, auth, members, all settings. Irremovable.
Founding eng, CTO
Manager
Manage all teams, projects, and members. No billing access.
Engineering managers
Admin
Manage integrations, projects, teams. No member management.
Tech leads, DevOps
Member
View data, act on issues, join/leave teams. Default for new users.
Individual contributors
Billing
Payment and subscription management only. No technical access.
Finance team
(Business/Enterprise only) add granularity within teams:
Team-level roles
Team Role
Additional Capabilities
Team Admin
Manage team membership, add/remove projects from the team
Contributor
View and act on issues in the team's projects
A member's effective permissions are the union of their org-level role and all team-level roles they hold. A Member with Team Admin on "payments-team" can manage that team but cannot touch org-wide settings.
Create the team structure:
# Create a team
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"slug": "backend-eng", "name": "Backend Engineering"}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/teams/" | jq '{slug, name, dateCreated}'# List all teams with member counts
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/teams/" \
| jq '.[] | {slug, memberCount, hasAccess}'# Assign a project to a team (grants team members access to that project)
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/$SENTRY_ORG/payment-api/teams/backend-eng/"# Remove a team's access to a project
curl -s -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/$SENTRY_ORG/payment-api/teams/backend-eng/"# List which teams have access to a project
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/$SENTRY_ORG/payment-api/teams/" \
| jq '.[].slug'
Manage team membership:
# List organization members (get MEMBER_ID values)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/members/" \
| jq '.[] | {id, email, role, expired}'# Add a member to a team
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/members/$MEMBER_ID/teams/backend-eng/"# Remove a member from a team
curl -s -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/members/$MEMBER_ID/teams/backend-eng/"# Update a member's organization role
curl -s -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"role": "admin"}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/members/$MEMBER_ID/"
Step 2 — Configure SSO/SAML2 and SCIM Provisioning
SSO centralizes authentication; SCIM automates the user lifecycle. Configure SSO first, then layer SCIM on top.
SSO/SAML2 setup — Okta example:
In Okta Admin Console, create a new SAML 2.0 application
Set the Single Sign-On URL to: https://sentry.io/saml/acs/{org_slug}/
Set the Audience URI (SP Entity ID) to: https://sentry.io/saml/metadata/{org_slug}/
Configure attribute statements:
Name
Value
email
user.email
firstName
user.firstName
lastName
user.lastName
Download the IdP metadata XML or copy the metadata URL
SSO/SAML2 setup — Azure AD:
In Azure Portal > Enterprise Applications, add Sentry from the gallery
Configure SAML SSO with Reply URL: https://sentry.io/saml/acs/{org_slug}/
Set Identifier (Entity ID): https://sentry.io/saml/metadata/{org_slug}/
Map claims: emailaddress, givenname, surname
Download the Federation Metadata XML
SSO/SAML2 setup — Google Workspace:
In Google Admin > Apps > SAML Apps, add a custom SAML app for Sentry
Set ACS URL: https://sentry.io/saml/acs/{org_slug}/
Set Entity ID: https://sentry.io/saml/metadata/{org_slug}/
Map email, firstName, lastName attributes
Download the IdP metadata
Activate in Sentry:
Navigate to Organization Settings > Auth
Click Configure next to SAML2
Enter the IdP metadata URL or upload the metadata XML
Click Save then Test SSO Login — verify it redirects and authenticates correctly
Enable Require SSO to enforce SSO for all organization members
Optionally set a Default Role for SSO-provisioned users (typically Member)
SCIM provisioning automates user creation, deactivation, and group sync:
SCIM Base URL: https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/{org_slug}/scim/v2/
Authentication: Bearer token (generated in Sentry's SCIM settings page)
# Provision a new user via SCIM
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCIM_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/scim+json" \
-d '{
"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"],
"userName": "engineer@company.com",
"name": {"givenName": "Jane", "familyName": "Doe"},
"emails": [{"primary": true, "value": "engineer@company.com", "type": "work"}],
"active": true
}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/scim/v2/Users"# List SCIM-provisioned users
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCIM_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/scim/v2/Users?count=100" \
| jq '.Resources[] | {id, userName, active}'# Deactivate a user via SCIM (sets active to false)
curl -s -X PATCH \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCIM_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/scim+json" \
-d '{
"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
"Operations": [{"op": "replace", "value": {"active": false}}]
}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/scim/v2/Users/$SCIM_USER_ID"# Sync IdP groups to Sentry teams via SCIM Groups
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SCIM_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/scim+json" \
-d '{
"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group"],
"displayName": "backend-eng",
"members": []
}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/scim/v2/Groups"
SCIM capabilities once connected:
Auto-create users when assigned in the IdP
Auto-deactivate users when removed from the IdP group
Sync team membership from IdP groups to Sentry teams
No manual user management — the IdP becomes the single source of truth
Step 3 — API Token Governance and Audit Logging
API token scopes — always apply the principle of least privilege:
Scope
Access Level
Typical Use Case
project:read
Read project settings and stats
Monitoring dashboards
project:write
Update project settings
Automation scripts
project:releases
Create releases, upload source maps
CI/CD pipelines
event:read
Read error/transaction events
Alerting integrations
event:write
Update/resolve events
Automated triage bots
org:read
Read organization data
Reporting tools
org:write
Update organization settings
Admin automation
member:read
List organization members
Directory sync
member:write
Manage members and invites
Onboarding automation
team:read
List teams
Discovery scripts
team:write
Create/update/delete teams
Team provisioning
Create and manage API tokens:
# Create a new auth token via API
curl -s -X POST \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"scopes": ["project:read", "project:releases", "org:read"],
"name": "ci-cd-pipeline-prod"
}' \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/api-tokens/"# List all active auth tokens
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/api-tokens/" \
| jq '.[] | {id, name, scopes, dateCreated}'# Delete a token by ID
curl -s -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
"https://sentry.io/api/0/api-tokens/$TOKEN_ID/"
Token hygiene best practices:
CI/CD tokens:project:releases + org:read only — the minimum for deploys
Monitoring tokens:event:read + project:read — read-only for dashboards
Admin tokens: Use sparingly, rotate quarterly, limit to one or two Owners
Navigate to Organization Settings > Security > Allowed IP Ranges to restrict API access and dashboard logins to corporate network CIDR blocks. This is enforced at the organization level and applies to all auth tokens and browser sessions.
Output
After completing all three steps, your Sentry organization will have:
Team hierarchy established with projects assigned to specific teams
Organization roles configured with least-privilege access per member
SSO/SAML2 federated with your identity provider, with required authentication enforced
SCIM provisioning automating user creation, deactivation, and team sync from the IdP
API tokens created with minimal scopes, named by purpose, with a rotation schedule
Audit logging enabled and queryable for compliance reporting
IP allowlisting (if Enterprise) restricting access to approved networks
Error Handling
Error
Cause
Solution
403 Forbidden on team/member endpoints
Auth token missing team:admin or member:admin scope
Create a new token at sentry.io/settings/auth-tokens/ with the required scopes
User cannot see a project
User is not on any team that has access to that project
Add the user to a team via the Members API, then assign that team to the project
SSO login redirects but fails
SAML ACS URL or Audience URI mismatch between IdP and Sentry
Verify the URLs match exactly: https://sentry.io/saml/acs/{org_slug}/ and https://sentry.io/saml/metadata/{org_slug}/
SCIM sync creates users but does not assign teams
IdP groups not mapped to SCIM Groups in Sentry
Create SCIM Groups matching your IdP group names, then push group membership from the IdP
401 Unauthorized on SCIM endpoints
Using an org auth token instead of the SCIM-specific bearer token
Use the dedicated SCIM token generated in Organization Settings > Auth > SCIM
Audit log returns empty results
Organization is on Team or Developer plan
Upgrade to Business or Enterprise plan for audit log access
429 Too Many Requests on API calls
Rate limit exceeded (org-level: 100 req/s for Business)
Implement exponential backoff; batch operations where possible
