# System for Cross-domain Identity Management \(SCIM\) API

The System for Cross-domain Identity Management \(SCIM\) API provides endpoints to create, read, update, and delete operations on users and groups using the SCIM protocol.

The SCIM protocol is an application-level HTTP-based protocol based on the HTTP \[[RFC7230](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7230)\] standard. Use this API for provisioning and managing identity data, such as users and groups, on the web and in cross-domain environments, such as enterprise-to-cloud service providers or inter-cloud scenarios.

To access this API, you must activate the SCIM v2 - ServiceNow® Cross-domain Identity Management \(com.snc.integration.scim2\) plugin.

## Resource mapping

The SCIM service has six resources:

-   User \(core and extension\)
-   Group \(core and extension\)
-   Company
-   CostCenter
-   Department
-   Location

Most of the attributes in these SCIM resources map to corresponding fields in an existing ServiceNow table. The following tables define these mappings. Attributes that do not correspond to fields in existing ServiceNow tables map to two SCIM-specific tables. For additional information on these tables, see [SCIM-specific tables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/scim-api.md).

The SCIM User resource has both core \(schema: urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User\) and extension \(urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:servicenow:2.0:User\) schemas. Most of the User core and extension schema attributes map to the User \[sys\_user\] table.

</table>## Roles and access control lists

The scim\_admin role is required to access the SCIM-specific tables and the private SCIM endpoints and enables access to the User \[sys\_user\] and Group \[sys\_user\_group\] tables.

The SCIM service has four ACLs for accessing the Sys Scim User \[sys\_scim\_user\] table and the Sys Scim Group \[sys\_scim\_group\] table that enable create, delete, read, and write. These ACLs are only mapped to the scim\_admin role.

**Parent Topic:**[REST API reference](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-apis/api-rest.md)

Value of the field specified in the **Operations.path** parameter. The format of this parameter depends on the data-type of the associated field. For example, if updating a simple string, such as the title, the **value** field is expressed as a string.

 ```
 "Operations": [
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "displayName",
    "value": "HR Group"
  }
]
```

 You can also declare simple string values without a **path** parameters, such as:

```
 "Operations": [
  {
    "op": "add",
    "value": {
      "displayName": "HR Group"
    }
  }
]
```

 The following shows how to add a member to the group:

```
{
  "op": "add",
  "value": {
    "members": {
      "value": "62826bf03710200044e0bfc8bcbe5df1",
    }
  }
}
```

 If the field being updated is not in the base-schema, you must enclose the name-value pair in an object that specifies the URN of the associated schema.

 ```
"value": {
  "<schema_urn>": {
    "<field_name>": "<new_value>"
  },
}
```

 For example:

 ```
"value": {
  "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:servicenow:2.0:Group": {
    "groupNumber": "13454"
  },
}
```

## SCIM - PATCH /scim/Users/\{user\_id\}

Enables you to add, replace, and remove specified fields in a user record in the User \[sys\_user\] table of a ServiceNow instance using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management \(SCIM\) protocol.

### URL format

Versioned URL: `/api/now/{api_version}/scim/Users/{user_id}`

Default URL: `/api/now/scim/Users/{user_id}`

**Note:** Available versions are specified in the [REST API Explorer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-api-explorer/use-REST-API-Explorer.md). For scripted REST APIs there is additional version information on the [Scripted REST Service form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/api-reference/rest-api-explorer/c_CustomWebServices.md).

</td><td>

Required. Operation to perform.Valid values:

-   add: Add the specified field and value to the user record.
-   remove: Remove the value from the specified field.
-   replace: Replace the value of the specified field.

 Data type: String

</td></tr><tr><td>

Operations.path

</td><td>

Required for `remove` operations. Name/path of the field to modify.The **path** parameter can have one of the following formats:

-   A direct field, such as `title`
-   A nested fields, such as `name.givenName`
-   In case of complex array, it can point to a specific element with a filter, such as: `emails[type eq "work"]`

```
{
  "schemas": [
    "urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"
  ],
  "Operations": [
    {
      "op": "add",
      "path": "title",
      "value": "xyz"
    },
    {  
      "op": "replace",
      "path": "name.givenName",

    },
    {
      "op": "replace",
      "path": "emails[type eq \"work\"]",
      "value": "xyz@test.com"
    }
  ]
}
```

 Data type: String

 Default: Considers the field to be a user resource.

</td></tr><tr><td>

Operations.value

</td><td>

Value of the field specified in the **Operations.path** parameter. The format of this parameter depends on the data-type of the associated field. For example, if updating a simple string, such as the title, the **value** field is expressed as a string.

 ```
 "Operations": [
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "title",
    "value": "xyz"
  }
]
```

 You can also declare simple string values without using **value** or **path** parameters, such as:

```
 "Operations": [
  {
    "op": "add",
    "title": "xyz"
  }
]
```

 However, when updating a phone number, which is an array that contains objects that define additional fields to add to the user record and their associated values, the **value** field is expressed as an array of objects.

 ```
 "Operations": [
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "phoneNumbers",
    "value": [
      {
        "type": "work",
        "value": "9876543210"
      },
      {
        "type": "home",
        "value": "9876783216"
      }
    ]
  }
]
```

 When specifying attribute nodes, the entry can include the nesting as follows:

```
{
  "op": "replace",
  "value": {
    "name": {
      "familyName": "Jones",
      "givenName": "Jennifer"
    }
  }
}
```

Or you can specify the nesting in the **Operations.path**:

 ```
{
  "op": "replace",
  "path": "name.givenName",
  "value": "Jennifer"
}
```

 If the field being updated is not in the base-schema, you must enclose the name-value pair in an object that specifies the URN of the associated schema.

 ```
"value": {
  "<schema_urn>": {
    "<field_name>": "<new_value>"
  },
}
```

 For example:

 ```
"value": {
  "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:servicenow:2.0:User": {
    "employeeNumber": "13454"
  },
}
```

For example, to filter for all locations whose name starts with "Ch" and were last modified before October 3, 2021, enter `displayName SW "Ch" AND meta.lastModified lt "2021-10-03T00:00:00Z"`. Use dot-walking to specify nested attributes.
