What is SCIM?
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is an open standard that facilitates the automation of user provisioning. Jiminny supports both automatic and manual provisioning of users via the SCIM protocol, allowing organizations to manage user data more efficiently by syncing it directly from their Identity Provider (IdP) to Jiminny.
In essence, SCIM allows customers to add employees to their HR system, and these users will automatically be created in Jiminny. This integration streamlines the onboarding and offboarding processes by enabling centralized management of user data

Setting Up SCIM with Jiminny
1. Request a SCIM Endpoint:
Clients should open a Service Request (SRD) ticket to request a SCIM endpoint from Jiminny. This endpoint, provided by Jiminny’s Engineering team, is necessary for configuring SCIM on the client’s IdP.
2. Configure the SCIM Endpoint on the Identity Provider:
Clients should send the SCIM endpoint, along with the applicable setup guide, to their IT team.
After configuration, users and groups will be automatically created and managed in Jiminny via the client’s IdP.
