What will this feature do differently?
Bitwarden Directory Connector will be available as a Docker Image
It’ll make the Directory Connector available as a Web based application, similar to how the Server side is exposed.
What benefits will this feature bring?
Multiple admins could manage
Dockerised environment
Food for thought
To be honest, for a start, if this could just be containerised, I don’t mind using the CLI until the Web GUI is ready. Alternatively, I could make use of this temporarily.
Ideally, this should be part of the Admin I think, and should also be available in the SaaS environment.
Remember to add a tag for each client application that will be affected

In our organization this would also be super useful! We would like to have the Bitwarden Directory Connector Web GUI integrated in the Bitwarden System Administrator Portal, so it is easier for setup and tracking by admins.
Frustration with the Bitwarden Directory Connector. It often seems like an after thought solution and is often troublesome. Being unable to run the connector without being logged on, requires a complicated schedule task and a service account in a Windows environment. If you could run the connector as a service, it may be less problematic. However, the reliance on a physical environment when using both a cloud based IdP and credential vault seems like an unnecessary complication. We use roughly a dozen different products that connect directly to Azure AD for their directory synchronization without the need for a proxy solution similar to those above.
Currently I do not believe that Google Workspace (formally G-Suite) has support for SCIM, though depending on your plan you may have access to Google Workspace LDAP cloud directory.
If you have a supported plan, you should be able to add this to allow for user provisioning.
Otherwise you can follow the guide below from Bitwarden to sync with your Google Workspace.
Hi! I am following up - I am unsure where in the roadmap this is but our organization would greatly benefit from a containerized implementation of the Bitwarden Directory Connector. I like the idea of it being accessible from the /admin container. Let me know if this is still on the roadmap and if so, what the plan might look like. Thank you!
