-SCIM is a standardized definition of two endpoints: a /Users endpoint and a /Groups endpoint. It uses common Representational state transfer (REST) verbs to create, update, and delete objects, and a pre-defined schema for common attributes like group name, username, first name, last name, and email. Apps that offer a SCIM 2.0 REST API can reduce or eliminate the pain of working with a proprietary user management API. For example, any compliant SCIM client knows how to make an HTTP POST of a JSON object to the /Users endpoint to create a new user entry. Instead of needing a slightly different API for the same basic actions, apps that conform to the SCIM standard can instantly take advantage of pre-existing clients, tools, and code.
