Difficulty: Hard
The Problem
Inflexible User and Staff Management
Competitor Landscape
- Native platform staff roles
- Okta / Azure AD (generic IAM)
- WorkOS
- B2B apps with basic approvals
Must-Have Features for MVP
Embedded Operations Console with scoped actions
Policy-as-code (OPA) for staff and buyer permissions
Staff SSO (SAML) and SCIM provisioning
Buyer org SSO and multi-level approvals
Spend limits, cost centers, and budget windows
Comprehensive audit trails and session recording
Delegated admin (branch managers manage their teams)
Automated access reviews and certification workflows
Break-glass access with time-limited elevation
⚠️ Potential Challenges
- Cannot modify native staff roles on some platforms—must route actions through Ops Console
- SSO/SCIM configuration complexity with customer IT teams
- Latency concerns for policy checks at scale
- Data residency and audit log retention requirements
Risk Level: Moderate
🎯 Keys to Success
- Deploys without changing native admin UI
- Passes security reviews (SOC 2 Type II, SSO/SCIM)
- Reduces support tickets and errors from mis-permissions
- Frictionless buyer onboarding with prebuilt SSO playbooks
