System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)

Describes using System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) schema in identity management

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a set of application-level protocols to securely manage and communicate user data across multiple domains. SCIM clients can be integrated to manage CRUD (create, replace, update, delete) operations, apply queries and filters, and create user groups within your organization. SCIM allows you to automate user lifecycles and maintain user accounts across platforms.

To read the SCIM specification, read System for Cross-domain Identity Management: Core Schema.
