SCIM 2.0 Protocol
Open standard protocol (RFC 7644) for automating user provisioning and deprovisioning between identity providers (IdPs like Okta, Azure AD) and SaaS applications using a standardized REST API.
Best When
Your enterprise wants automated, standardized user lifecycle management — SCIM is the vendor-neutral standard that all major IdPs and SaaS apps support.
Avoid When
You're a small team without an IdP, or your use case is authentication rather than provisioning.
Use Cases
- • Automated user provisioning when employees join an organization (create accounts across all apps)
- • User deprovisioning when employees leave (disable/delete accounts from all connected apps)
- • Group membership synchronization between IdP and SaaS applications
- • Attribute sync keeping user profiles updated across all connected services
- • Compliance reporting on user access across enterprise applications
Not For
- • Authentication flows (SCIM is provisioning only, not login)
- • Single-app scenarios without enterprise IdP integration
- • Consumer apps without enterprise user management requirements
