SCIM Overview

What is SCIM?​

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a protocol standard that Kojo implements that allows you to manage your users on our platform. It is a RESTful API that is supported by various identity providers (IdPs).

Authentication​

Authentication works identically to the rest of the Kojo API. Please see the Authentication page for more information.

Support​

Kojo implements a subset of the SCIM resources defined in RFC 7643 Section 4. The table below lists those that are supported and those that are not.

ResourceMethodsSupported
/UsersGET, POST✅
/Users/:idGET, PUT, PATCH, DELETE✅
/MeGET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE❌
/GroupsGET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE❌
/ServiceProviderConfigGET✅
/ResourceTypesGET✅
/SchemasGET✅
/BulkPOST❌
/.searchPOST❌
?filter (see the note below)GET❌
Note on filtering

Filtering is generally not supported, however, we support a special case of filtering the Users endpoint by userName, e.g. ?filter=userName eq "myemail@contractor.com".

Responses​

Responses from Kojo's SCIM API will always set the Content-Type header to application/scim+json, as per RFC 7644 Section 3.1.

Errors​

We use the official urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:Error schema defined in RFC 7644 Section 3.12. Thus, errors from our API will look similar to the following:

{
"detail": "Resource clcazaz0q0000vssb0x4t7sbc not found",
"schemas": [
"urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:Error"
],
"status": "404"
}
