SCIM protocol and platform

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol is an application-level HTTP-based protocol for provisioning and managing identity data on the web and in cross-domain environments.

For more information on the SCIM protocol, refer to its official documentation.

A service provider behaves as a SCIM server and exposes SCIM APIs that the identity provider can invoke for create, delete, and update events.

SCIM when you use platform as a service provider

If you configure the platform as your service provider, it exposes the platform's SCIM APIs for your IDP to invoke for user data synchronization.

The SCIM APIs follow the rfc7644 standard.

For authentication, SCIM APIs require OAUTH2 client credentials. These credentials are available to you when you complete Step 2 in Setting up as a service provider.

SCIM when you use the platform as an identity provider

As an identity provider, the platform Identity Service invokes service provider APIs for create, delete and update events. To register a SCIM server, use the Identity Service SCIM Registration APIs.
