Summary

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open standard that enables the exchange of user information between applications. It uses a REST API to share data about user identities and attributes in JSON or XML format. SCIM attributes allow you to define both users and groups, and store information about them and their relationships. The standard includes various types of attributes such as common, default, and enterprise user attributes. Custom attributes can also be added to capture additional details specific to an application. Implementing SCIM in your app allows for seamless communication with major identity providers like Azure AD/Entra ID, Okta, or Google Workspace without the need for custom implementations tailored to each provider's quirks.
