What does SCIM do?
SCIM automates user account management between systems. An identity provider (IdP) pushes user data to an application. The application keeps its user list in sync. SCIM covers new users, updates, and account removal.
How does SCIM work?
SCIM uses a simple REST API with JSON. It defines a standard schema for users and groups. The source system sends create, update, or delete requests. The target application applies each change to its directory.
Why does SCIM matter?
SCIM saves manual work for administrators. It also improves security. When a worker leaves, SCIM removes the access fast. This step lowers the risk from stale accounts.
- Automatic user setup
- Automatic account updates
- Fast account removal for leavers
