Connect Rippling to Linear to automate engineering team provisioning so developers are added to the right workspaces on day one and removed cleanly when they leave.
The Rippling–Linear integration manages Linear user provisioning through Rippling's identity layer. Engineering and product employees are provisioned into Linear workspaces automatically based on their Rippling department and team assignments. When they leave, Linear access is revoked as part of Rippling's offboarding workflow.
Linear's SAML SSO support allows Rippling to act as the identity provider, meaning Linear access requires active Rippling authentication — a cleaner security posture than standalone credentials.
Linear provisioning is often handled informally by engineering team leads, with no connection to the formal IT onboarding or offboarding process. This creates a pattern where former engineers retain Linear workspace access after leaving — a common finding in security reviews for companies scaling their SOC 2 programs.
thePeopleStack configures SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning between Rippling and Linear, mapping engineering departments and squads to Linear teams. We ensure offboarding events in Rippling trigger Linear account deactivation and document the provisioning logic for your IT team.
For Canadian engineering employees, thePeopleStack ensures Linear provisioning is included in the standard onboarding and offboarding workflow and notes any data handling considerations for code and issue data stored in Linear's infrastructure.
Linear supports SAML SSO and has SCIM provisioning capabilities. Rippling can act as the SAML identity provider, with user provisioning and deprovisioning tied to employment status changes.
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning require Linear Plus or Enterprise. thePeopleStack can advise on requirements based on your current Linear plan.
Yes. Even small engineering teams benefit from connected provisioning — the offboarding cleanup alone (ensuring former engineers lose Linear access on their last day) is worth the configuration effort as teams scale toward SOC 2.
Yes, through group mapping. Rippling departments or custom attributes can be mapped to Linear teams, so new engineers are added to the right workspace automatically based on their role.
Linear access control is a common finding in SOC 2 access reviews. Connecting it to Rippling ensures Linear is included in your automated access review evidence and that offboarding events generate timestamped removal records — both requirements for SOC 2 Type II personnel controls.
