SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management)

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open standard designed to make it easier to manage user identities in cloud-based applications and services. The SCIM protocol uses a standardized API to exchange user identity information between systems. When a user's information is created, updated, or deleted in an IDP, the IDP can send a corresponding SCIM request (in JSON format) to a cloud application’s SCIM endpoint, which then programmatically applies these changes to the user's profile or access rights. This ensures real-time synchronization of user data across different systems using RESTful APIs and a standardized schema.

More information can be found on the official SCIM homepage.

Prerequisites

The identity provider/user management system must be able to support the SCIM protocol.

Unique will provide:

• URL for SCIM API endpoint of Unique

• API key for calling SCIM API endpoint of Unique

The URL and API key need to be configured on the IdP in order to sync users and groups from the user management system to Unique.
