# Tutorial: Configure SCIM for user provisioning with a Provider

Configuring SCIM automatically provisions and de-provisions users and groups to ServiceNow by using the providers provisioning service.

## Before you begin

Install SCIM plugin.

**Warning:** Grant this role carefully. The scim\_admin role is equivalent to giving the user the admin role, where the scmin\_admin can add or update Personally Identifiable Information \(PII\).
