Understanding SCIM System for Cross-Domain Identity Management

SCIM, the System for Cross-domain Identity Management, is an open standard defined in RFC 7643 and RFC 7644 that automates the exchange of user identity information between identity providers and service providers. It uses a RESTful API with a standardized JSON schema to create, update, deactivate, and delete user and group accounts across cloud applications. SCIM enables automated provisioning and deprovisioning, reducing orphaned accounts and manual administration in federated environments.
