SCIM Service Provider API Overview

Overview

This API is used to retrieve information about the configuration of the FusionAuth SCIM Service Provider as specified in the RFC.

Retrieve Service Provider Configuration

Retrieve Resource Types

Request

Retrieve All Resource Types

URI

GET /api/scim/resource/v2/ResourceTypes

Retrieve a Resource Type by Id

URI

GET /api/scim/resource/v2/ResourceTypes/{resourceTypeId}

Request Parameters

resourceTypeId [String] Optional: The unique Resource Type Id, such as User.

Response

The response for this API contains the ResourceType(s) in standard SCIM schema.

Table 1. Response Codes
Code	Description
200	The request was successful. The response will contain a JSON body.
400	The request was invalid and/or malformed. The response will contain a SCIM Error JSON Object with the specific errors. This status will also be returned if a paid FusionAuth license is required and is not present.
401	You did not supply a valid JWT in your Authorization header. The response will be empty. Ensure you’ve correctly set up Entities and performed a Client Credentials grant.
500	There was an internal error. A stack trace is provided and logged in the FusionAuth log files. The response will be empty.

For FusionAuth SCIM endpoints, any error responses will be returned in standard SCIM schema. See more details in the SCIM API Overview.

The SCIM specification allows for customization of the schemas using extensions. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately document all the possible variations.

The following is the default response body. However, you can customize the schemas portion of the response by modifying the schemas setting.

This is taken from the SCIM RFC describing a SCIM ResourceTypes schema. For the full specification you can find the RFC.
