About WorkOS
WorkOS keeps compounding enterprise primitives: RBAC, SCIM, audit, MCP auth
WorkOS is shipping a steady stream of enterprise-readiness primitives: group-level role assignments and a Groups API for RBAC, Snowflake streaming for audit logs, SCIM bearer-token rotation, self-serve environment creation, user-scoped API keys, a Feature Flags runtime client, and resource indicators for MCP auth. Each is a focused, single-purpose addition.
