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.

|-|-|
| [SCIM Provider](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cSMcVxzUkdlzmwfNsNxGLQ "The Service Provider provisions users and groups using the SCIM API.") [The SCIM provider synchronizes the changes made to identities in the IdP, including creating, updating, or deleting records.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/cSMcVxzUkdlzmwfNsNxGLQ "The Service Provider provisions users and groups using the SCIM API.") | [SCIM Client](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/03v~1DUdoizMAX9aqCmmfg "The SCIM Client facilitates provisioning and updates on identity resources through CRUD operations exposed by SCIM endpoint on an external system.") [The SCIM Client is used for creating, updating, and deleting identity resources in a system that supports SCIM compliant REST requests.](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/03v~1DUdoizMAX9aqCmmfg "The SCIM Client facilitates provisioning and updates on identity resources through CRUD operations exposed by SCIM endpoint on an external system.") |

{#scim__table_qty_rnd_2yb} 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. Use the API 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. To know more about the SCIM API, see [System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=scim-api&version=zurich&pubname=zurich-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US).
