SCIM Provisioning

Overview

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a standardized method for provisioning users across systems.

It is commonly used by cloud applications to support automatic user creation and updates.

When It Is Used

SCIM is used when a connected application supports standardized provisioning.

Example:

• Slack

How It Works in Fixiam

• Fixiam connects to the application using SCIM credentials
• Users are assigned access through groups
• Users are automatically provisioned based on that access

Once configured, provisioning happens in the background with minimal manual effort.

What to Expect

• Automatic user creation when access is granted
• Updates to user data are reflected in the application
• Consistent provisioning behavior across supported systems

Important Notes

• SCIM requires the target application to support SCIM provisioning
• Setup typically involves providing a token and endpoint
• Provisioning is driven by access (via groups), not manual user creation
