System of Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)

SCIM, System of Cross-domain Identity Management, is an HTTP-based protocol designed to manage identities in various applications and services. It promotes compatibility because you can use a common set of REST API requests for creating, searching, modifying, or deleting identities such as users or groups on any service compliant with the standard. SCIM is not meant to replace your existing systems for user management, but rather to act as a standard interface on top of them. 

Maintaining identity across several platforms can be time-consuming, complex, and expensive. ServiceChannel supports an identity management system (SCIM) designed to help administer user identities in cloud-based applications and services easier. SCIM acts as a connector between Identity Provider and Service Provider and ensures that any user modifications initiated on the Identity Provider side will automatically occur on the Service Provider side.
