SCIM

It is possible to use SCIM via the REST HTTP interface to POST, GET, DELETE, PUT and PATCH user and group configurations. This section will cover the schemas used to create, update and remove users and groups, as well as the limitations when using SCIM.

For more information regarding the specifications for SCIM, please see RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7643

For information regarding the API endpoints, please see RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.2

Note!

When importing the user configurations into the Platform or when upgrading the Platform, the users will be disabled after the import operation or the upgrade. To enable the users, you can use PATCH or PUT, a user with attribute active : true. You can also enable the user by ticking the checkbox for the users you want to enable from the User tab in the Access Controller on the Desktop.

When creating a new user from SCIM, the user will be enabled by default.

These are the limitations for using SCIM instead of the Desktop.

Only users with write access for application Access Controller should be able to Add, update and delete users or groups.
A user can only be created once using the HTTP method POST
The password attribute is not mandatory when you create a user with POST , however the user will not be able to login without a password.
All user details can be modified except the username.
The users assigned group can only be updated using the HTTP method PUT
When using PUT to assign a user's group, no default group will be selected.
You can only POST an access group with same name one time, the group name can not be changed.
It is not possible to set or change the applications connected to the access group using the HTTP methods available via SCIM, this is only possible using the desktop.

Custom Schema

There is an additional schema for the "User" resource. The Schema URI for it is:

urn:sap:cloud:scim:schemas:extension:custom:2.0:mzuser

The following attributes are defined:

successor: The successor user takes over all configs when the current user is removed.
- value: The identifier of the successor user.
- display: A human-readable name, primarily used for display purposes. It is read-only.
validityPeriod: The validity period of a user. Format is: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
- from: The "DateTime" the user should be valid from.
- to: The "DateTime" the user should be valid to.
