Set Enterprise policies
example
Subject: Pro-tip for Bitwarden admins and owners
Body:
Hi [name],
Today's onboarding tip is critical for getting your Bitwarden organization ready for more team members: Set your Enterprise policies.
Enterprise policies allow Bitwarden Enterprise organizations to enforce security rules for all users, such as requiring two-step login. It's how Bitwarden admins and owners set the right security foundations for their teams, and build a consistent deployment and user experience for all team members.
Some policies will remove non-compliant users from the organization when enabled, and some are not retroactively enforceable, so now is the time to nail down your organization's policies.
Learn more about how policies work here.

Invite your users
example
Subject: 2 ways to automate Bitwarden user provisioning
Body:
Hi [name],
Scalable success with Bitwarden comes from provisioning users smoothly and securely. Here are the top ways new admins and owners automate the process of getting employees on Bitwarden.
SSO
With Login with SSO, Enterprise organizations leverage their existing Identity Provider to authenticate users with Bitwarden using the SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocols. Learn about SSO.
SCIM
System for cross-domain identity management (SCIM) can be used to automatically provision members and groups in your Bitwarden organization. Bitwarden servers provide a SCIM endpoint that, with a valid SCIM API key, will accept requests from your Identity Provider (IdP) for user and group provisioning and de-provisioning. Learn about SCIM.
Directory Connector
The Bitwarden Directory Connector app automatically provisions users, groups, and group associations in your Bitwarden organization by pulling from a selection of source directory services. Provisioned users will be issued invitations to join the organization. Learn about Directory Connector.
