SCIM Features

The SCIM specification is designed to make managing user identities in cloud-based applications and services easy, fast, and inexpensive.

SCIM provides the following features:

• It builds upon experience with existing schemas and deployments.
• It places emphasis on simplicity of development and integration.
• It applies existing authentication, authorization, and privacy models.

It aims to reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by providing a common user schema and extension model. It also binds documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema by using standard protocols.
