The Service Provider provisions users and groups using the SCIM API.

As a SCIM provider, the ServiceNow schemas support SCIM APIs to provision users and groups.

The SCIM provider synchronizes the changes made to identities in the IdP, including creating, updating, or deleting records. These changes are automatically synchronized to the provider according to the SCIM protocol. Also, the IdP can
read identities from the provider to add to the IdP directory. The IdP can then detect incorrect values in the provider that could create security vulnerabilities. The synchronization enables end users to have seamless access to
applications for which they're assigned, with up-to-date profiles and permissions.

## Configurations for SCIM Provider {#explore-scim-provider__section_vmp_qqh_3tb}

To configure the SCIM Provider, perform the following tasks:

* Activate the SCIM v2 - ServiceNow Cross-domain Identity Management plugin. To learn more, see [Activating the SCIM plugin](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1~RzKsORlpLo21RE69L~tg "For SCIM activation, install the SCIM v2 - ServiceNow Cross-domain Identity Management (com.snc.integration.scim2) plugin.").
* Activate the other plugins that other plugins that are required for SCIM:
  * [OAuth 2.0](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8cDeBfNfDUQy46ovRtrNlg "Set up and activate OAuth, enable the OAuth system property, create an OAuth application endpoint for external client applications to access the instance, and set OAuth parameters.")
  * REST API Provider
  * [REST API Access Policy​](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7Ju98e05wjxnNR7Zp1AE0g "You can activate the REST API Access Policy plugin (com.glide.rest.policy) if you have the admin role. The application includes demo data and installs related ServiceNow Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.")
  {#explore-scim-provider__ul_xds_4sh_3tb}
* Add the scim_admin role as part of the SCIM service.

{#explore-scim-provider__ul_mxp_5qh_3tb}  
Warnung:  
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).

## Tables {#explore-scim-provider__section_i4w_ssh_3tb}

Two tables, sys_user and sys_group, contain the SCIM attributes that do not map to existing ServiceNow tables. To know more about the tables, see the [SCIM-specific tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=scim-api&version=australia&pubname=australia-api-reference&ft:locale=en-US).
