System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema
draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-03

Abstract

The System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification is designed to make managing user identity in cloud based applications and services easier. The specification suite builds upon experience with existing schemas and deployments, placing specific emphasis on simplicity of development and integration, while applying existing authentication, authorization, and privacy models. Its intent is to reduce the cost and complexity of user management operations by providing a common user schema and extension model, as well as binding documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema using standard protocols. In essence, make it fast, cheap, and easy to move identity in to, out of, and around the cloud.

This document provides a platform neutral schema and extension model for representing users and groups in JSON format. This schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers. Additional binding documents provide a standard REST API, SAML binding, and use cases.

Throughout this document, values are quoted to indicate that they are to be taken literally. When using these values in protocol messages, the quotes MUST NOT be used as part of the value.

2. Overview

While there are existing standards for describing and exchanging user information, many of these standards can be difficult to implement and/or use; e.g., their wire protocols do not easily traverse firewalls and/or are not easily layered onto existing web protocols. As a result, many cloud providers implement non-standard APIs for managing users within their services. This increases both the cost and complexity associated with organizations adopting products and services from multiple cloud providers as they must perform redundant integration development. Similarly, cloud services providers seeking to interoperate with multiple application marketplaces or cloud identity providers must be redundantly integrated.

SCIM seeks to simplify this problem through a simple to implement specification suite that provides a common user schema and extension model, as well as binding documents to provide patterns for exchanging this schema via a REST API. It draws inspiration and best practice, building upon existing user APIs and schemas from a wide variety of sources including, but not limited to, existing APIs exposed by cloud providers, PortableContacts, and LDAP directory services.

This document provides a platform neutral schema and extension model for representing users and groups in JSON format. This schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers. Additional binding documents provide a standard REST API, SAML binding, and use cases.

2.1. Definitions

Service Provider:
An HTTP web application that provides identity information via the SCIM protocol.
Client:
A website or application that uses the SCIM protocol to manage identity data maintained by the service provider. The client initiates SCIM HTTP requests to a target service provider.
Resource:
The service provider managed artifact containing one or more attributes; e.g., User or Group.
Resource Type:
A type of a resource that is managed by a service provider. The resource type defines the resource name, endpoint URL, Schemas, and other meta-data which indicate where a resource is managed and how it is composed; e.g., User or Group.
Schema:
A collection of Attribute Definitions that describe the contents of an entire or partial resource; e.g., urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User.
Singular Attribute:
A resource attribute that contains 0..1 values; e.g., displayName.
Multi-valued Attribute:
A resource attribute that contains 0..n values; e.g., emails.
Simple Attribute:
A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a primitive; e.g., String.
Complex Attribute:
A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a composition of one or more simple attributes; e.g., addresses.
Sub-Attribute:
A simple attribute contained within a complex attribute.

3. SCIM Schema Structure

SCIM schema provides a minimal core schema for representing users and groups (resources), encompassing common attributes found in many existing deployments and schemas.

A resource is a collection of attributes identified by one or more schemas. Minimally, an attribute consists of the attribute name and at least one simple or complex value either of which may be multi-valued. SCIM schema defines the data type, plurality and other distinguishing features of an attribute. Unless otherwise specified all attributes are modifiable by consumers. Attribute definitions contain a property mutability that determines whether an attribute is: readOnly, writeOnly, immutable, or readWrite(the default). Additionally, service providers MAY define other properties such as returnability Resource's schema endpoint [schemas-attribute].

A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format [RFC4627] is defined. Attribute names SHOULD be camelCased. SCIM resources represented in JSON MUST specify schema via the schemas attributeSection 5.2.

3.1. Attribute Data Types

Attribute data types are derived from JSON [RFC4627] and unless otherwise specified have the following characteristics (see Section 11 for attribute characteristic definitions):[XML-Schema] are defined below. SCIM extensions SHOULD NOT introduce new data types.

The JSON format defines a limited set of data types, hence, where appropriate, alternate JSON representations derived from XML Schema

3.1.1. String

A sequence of zero or more Unicode characters. The JSON format is defined in Section 2.5 [RFC4627] . A String attribute MAY specify a required data format. Additionally, when canonical values are specified service providers SHOULD conform to those values if appropriate, but MAY provide alternate String values to represent additional values.

3.1.2. Boolean

The literal true or false. The JSON format is defined in Section 2.1 [RFC4627] .

3.1.3. Decimal

A real number with at least one digit to the left and right of the period. The JSON format is defined in Section 2.4 [RFC4627] .

3.1.4. Integer

A decimal number with no fractional digits. The JSON format is defined in Section 2.4 [RFC4627] with the additional constraint that the value MUST NOT contain fractionial or exponent parts.

3.1.5. DateTime

A DateTime value (e.g. 2008-01-23T04:56:22Z). The attribute value MUST be encoded as a valid xsd:dateTime as specified in Section 3.2.7 [XML-Schema] .

Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above and are represented as a JSON String per Section 2.5 [RFC4627].

3.1.6. Binary

Arbitrary binary data. The attribute value MUST be encoded as a valid xsd:base64Binary as specified in Section 3.2.16 [XML-Schema] .

Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above and are represented as a JSON String perSection 2.5 [RFC4627].

3.1.7. Reference

A reference to a SCIM resource. The value MUST be the absolute or relative URI of the target resource. Relative URIs should be resolved as specified in Section 5.2 [RFC3986]. The base URI for relative URI resolution MUST include all URI components and path segments up to but not including the Endpoint URI; e.g., the base URI for a request to https://example.com/v2/Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646 would be https://example.com/v2/ and the relative URI for this resource would be Users/2819c223-7f76-453a-919d-413861904646.

Performing a GET operation on a reference URI MUST return the target resource or an appropriate HTTP response code. The service provider MAY optionally choose to enforce referential integrity for references.

By convention, a reference is commonly represented as a $ref sub-attribute in complex or multi-valued attributes, however this is OPTIONAL.

3.1.8. Complex

A singular or multi-valued attribute whose value is a composition of one or more simple Attributes. The JSON format is defined in Section 2.2 [RFC4627] .

3.2. Multi-valued Attributes

Multi-valued attributes are unordered lists of attributes. Each attribute MAY contain Sub-Attributes and therefore multi-valued attributes may contain complex attributes. The sub-attributes below are considered normative and when specified SHOULD be used as defined.

  {
    "emails": [
      {"value":"bjensen@example.com"},
      {"value":"babs@example.com"}
    ]
  } 

  {
    "emails": ["bjensen@example.com","babs@example.com"]
  }

type
A label indicating the attribute's function; e.g., work or home.
primary
A boolean value indicating the 'primary' or preferred attribute value for this attribute, e.g. the preferred mailing address or primary e-mail address. The primary attribute value true MUST appear no more than once.
display
A human readable name, primarily used for display purposes and has a mutability of immutable.
operation
The operation to perform on the multi-valued attribute during a PATCH request. The only valid value is delete, which signifies that this instance should be removed from the resource.
value
The attribute's significant value; e.g., the e-mail address, phone number, etc. Attributes that define a value sub-attribute MAY be alternately represented as a collection of primitive types. For example:
$ref
The reference URI of the target resource, if the attribute is a reference.

When returning multi-valued attributes, service providers SHOULD canonicalize the value returned, if appropriate (e.g. for e-mail addresses and URLs). Service providers MAY return the same value more than once with different types (e.g. the same e-mail address may used for work and home), but SHOULD NOT return the same (type, value) combination more than once per Attribute, as this complicates processing by the Consumer.

4. Schema Extension Model

SCIM schema follows an object extension model similar to ObjectClasses used in LDAP. Unlike LDAP there is no inheritance model; all extensions are additive (similar to LDAP Auxiliary Object Class [RFC4512]). Each value indicates additive schema that may exist in a SCIM representation as specified by extensions not defined in this suite. Schema extensions MUST NOT redefine any attributes defined in this specification and SHOULD follow conventions defined in this specification. Each schema extension must identify a URI used to identify the extension. The JSON format MUST use the schemas attributeSection 5.2 to distinguish extended resources and attributes.

5. SCIM Core Schema

5.1. Common Schema Attributes

Each SCIM resource (Users, Groups, etc.) includes the below common attributes. These attributes MUST be included in all resources, including any extended resource types. It is not necessary to specify the schemas attribute if the resource is fully defined in this document as the core schema is implicitly included.

id
Unique identifier for the SCIM resource as defined by the service provider. Each representation of the resource MUST include a non-empty id value. This identifier MUST be unique across the service provider's entire set of resources. It MUST be a stable, non-reassignable identifier that does not change when the same resource is returned in subsequent requests. The value of the id attribute is always issued by the service provider and MUST never be specified by the client. bulkId: is a reserved keyword and MUST NOT be used in the unique identifier. REQUIRED and has a mutability of readOnly.
externalId
An identifier for the resource as defined by the client. The externalId may simplify identification of the resource between client and service provider by allowing the client to refer to the resource with its own identifier, obviating the need to store a local mapping between the local identifier of the resource and the identifier used by the service provider. Each resource MAY include a non-empty externalId value. The value of the externalId attribute is always issued by the client and can never be specified by the service provider. The service provider MUST always interpret the externalId as scoped to the client's tenant.
meta
A complex attribute containing resource metadata. All sub-attributes are OPTIONAL
resourceType
The name of the resource type of the resource. Attribute has mutability of readOnly.
created
The DateTime the resource was added to the service provider. The attribute MUST be a DateTime. Attribute has mutability of readOnly.
lastModified
The most recent DateTime the details of this resource were updated at the service provider. If this resource has never been modified since its initial creation, the value MUST be the same as the value of created. The attribute MUST be a DateTime. Attribute has mutability of readOnly.
location
The URI of the resource being returned. This value MUST be the same as the Location HTTP response header. Attribute has mutability of readOnly.
version
The version of the resource being returned. This value must be the same as the ETag HTTP response header. Attribute has mutability of readOnly.
attributes
The names of the attributes to remove from the resource during a PATCH operation.

5.2. "schemas" Attribute

SCIM supports resources of different types, with extensible schemas. Each resource MUST be indicated using fully qualified URLs.

A schemas attribute is used to indicate the version of SCIM schema as well as any schema extensions.

schemas
The schemas attribute is an array of strings which allows introspection of the supported schema version for a SCIM representation as well any schema extensions supported by that representation. Each String value must be a unique URI. This specification defines URIs for User, Group, and a standard enterprise-user extension. All representations of SCIM schema MUST include a non-zero value array with value(s) of the URIs supported by that representation. The schemas attribute for a resource MUST only contain values defined as schema and schemaExtensions for the resource's resource type. Duplicate values MUST NOT be included. Value order is not specified and MUST not impact behavior. REQUIRED.

6. SCIM User Schema

SCIM provides a schema for representing Users, identified using the following URI: urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User. The following attributes are defined in addition to those attributes defined in SCIM Core Schema:

6.1. Singular Attributes

userName
Unique identifier for the user, typically used by the user to directly authenticate to the service provider. Often displayed to the user as their unique identifier within the system (as opposed to id or externalId, which are generally opaque and not user-friendly identifiers). Each User MUST include a non-empty userName value. This identifier MUST be unique across the client's entire set of Users. RECOMMENDED.
name
The components of the user's real name. Service providers MAY return just the full name as a single string in the formatted sub-attribute, or they MAY return just the individual component attributes using the other sub-attributes, or they MAY return both. If both variants are returned, they SHOULD be describing the same name, with the formatted name indicating how the component attributes should be combined.
formatted
The full name, including all middle names, titles, and suffixes as appropriate, formatted for display (e.g. Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
familyName
The family name of the User, or last name in most Western languages (e.g. Jensen given the full name Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
givenName
The given name of the User, or first name in most Western languages (e.g. Barbara given the full name Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
middleName
The middle name(s) of the User (e.g. Jane given the full name Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
honorificPrefix
The honorific prefix(es) of the User, or title in most Western languages (e.g. Ms. given the full name Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
honorificSuffix
The honorific suffix(es) of the User, or suffix in most Western languages (e.g. III. given the full name Ms. Barbara Jane Jensen, III.).
displayName
The name of the user, suitable for display to end-users. Each user returned MAY include a non-empty displayName value. The name SHOULD be the full name of the User being described if known (e.g. Babs Jensen or Ms. Barbara J Jensen, III), but MAY be a username or handle, if that is all that is available (e.g. bjensen). The value provided SHOULD be the primary textual label by which this User is normally displayed by the service provider when presenting it to end-users.
nickName
The casual way to address the user in real life, e.g. Bob or Bobby instead of Robert. This attribute SHOULD NOT be used to represent a User's username (e.g. bjensen or mpepperidge).
profileUrl
A fully qualified URL to a page representing the user's online profile.
title
The user’s title, such as Vice President.
userType
Used to identify the organization to user relationship. Typical values used might be Contractor, Employee, Intern, Temp, External, and Unknown but any value may be used.
preferredLanguage
Indicates the user's preferred written or spoken language. Generally used for selecting a localized User interface. Valid values are concatenation of the ISO 639-1 two letter language code per [ISO639-2], an underscore, and the ISO 3166-1 2 letter country code[ISO3166]; e.g., 'en_US' specifies the language English and country US.
locale
Used to indicate the User's default location for purposes of localizing items such as currency, date time format, numerical representations, etc. A locale value is a concatenation of the ISO 639-1 two letter language code[ISO639-2], an underscore, and the ISO 3166-1 2 letter country code[ISO3166]; e.g., 'en_US' specifies the language English and country US.
timezone
The User's time zone in the "Olson" timezone database format[Olson-TZ]; e.g.,'America/Los_Angeles'.
active
A Boolean value indicating the user's administrative status. The definitive meaning of this attribute is determined by the service provider. As a typical example, a value of true infers the user is able to login while a value of false implies the user's account has been suspended.
password
The user's clear text password. This attribute is intended to be used as a means to specify an initial password when creating a new User or to reset an existing User's password. Password policies and the ability to update or set passwords are out of scope of this document. The mutability of this attribute is writeOnly indicating the value MUST NOT be returned by a service provider in any form.

6.2. Multi-valued Attributes

The following multi-valued attributes are defined.

emails
E-mail addresses for the User. The value SHOULD be canonicalized by the service provider, e.g. bjensen@example.com instead of bjensen@EXAMPLE.COM. Canonical type values of work, home, and other.
phoneNumbers
Phone numbers for the user. The value SHOULD be canonicalized by the service provider according to format in [RFC3966] e.g. 'tel:+1-201-555-0123'. Canonical type values of work, home, mobile, fax, pager, and other.
ims
Instant messaging address for the user. No official canonicalization rules exist for all instant messaging addresses, but service providers SHOULD, when appropriate, remove all whitespace and convert the address to lowercase. Instead of the standard canonical values for type, this attribute defines the following canonical values to represent currently popular IM services: aim, gtalk, icq, xmpp, msn, skype, qq, yahoo, and other.
photos
URL of a photo of the User. The value SHOULD be a canonicalized URL, and MUST point to an image file (e.g. a GIF, JPEG, or PNG image file) rather than to a web page containing an image. Service providers MAY return the same image at different sizes, though it is recognized that no standard for describing images of various sizes currently exists. Note that this attribute SHOULD NOT be used to send down arbitrary photos taken by this user, but specifically profile photos of the user suitable for display when describing the user. Instead of the standard canonical values for type, this attribute defines the following canonical values to represent popular photo sizes: photo, thumbnail.
addresses
A physical mailing address for this user. Canonical type values of work, home, and other. The value attribute is a complex type with the following sub-attributes. All sub-attributes are OPTIONAL.
formatted
The full mailing address, formatted for display or use with a mailing label. This attribute MAY contain newlines.
streetAddress
The full street address component, which may include house number, street name, P.O. box, and multi-line extended street address information. This attribute MAY contain newlines.
locality
The city or locality component.
region
The state or region component.
postalCode
The zipcode or postal code component.
country
The country name component. When specified the value MUST be in ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 "short" code format[ISO3166]; e.g., the United States and Sweden are US and SE, respectively.
groups
A list of groups that the user belongs to, either thorough direct membership, nested groups, or dynamically calculated. The values are meant to enable expression of common group or role based access control models, although no explicit authorization model is defined. It is intended that the semantics of group membership and any behavior or authorization granted as a result of membership are defined by the service provider. The canonical types direct and indirect are defined to describe how the group membership was derived. Direct group membership indicates the user is directly associated with the group and SHOULD indicate that clients may modify membership through the Group resource. Indirect membership indicates user membership is transitive or dynamic and implies that clients cannot modify indirect group membership through the Group resource but MAY modify direct group membership through the Group resource which MAY influence indirect memberships. If the SCIM service provider exposes a Group resource, the value sub-attribute MUST be the id and the $ref sub-attribute must be the URI of the corresponding Group resources to which the user belongs. Since this attribute has a mutability of readOnly, group membership changes MUST be applied via the Group Resource [group-resource]. The attribute has a mutability of readOnly.
entitlements
A list of entitlements for the user that represent a thing the user has. An entitlement MAY be an additional right to a thing, object, or service. No vocabulary or syntax is specified and service providers and clients are expected to encode sufficient information in the value so as to accurately and without ambiguity determine what the user has access to. This value has NO canonical types though type may be useful as a means to scope entitlements.
roles
A list of roles for the user that collectively represent who the user is; e.g., Student, Faculty. No vocabulary or syntax is specified though it is expected that a role value is a String or label representing a collection of entitlements. This value has NO canonical types.
x509Certificates
A list of certificates issued to the User. Values are Binary [type-binary] and DER encoded x509. This value has NO canonical types.

7. SCIM Enterprise User Schema Extension

The following SCIM extension defines attributes commonly used in representing users that belong to, or act on behalf of a business or enterprise. The enterprise user extension is identified using the following schema URI: urn:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User.

The following Singular Attributes are defined:

employeeNumber
Numeric or alphanumeric identifier assigned to a person, typically based on order of hire or association with an organization.
costCenter
Identifies the name of a cost center.
organization
Identifies the name of an organization.
division
Identifies the name of a division.
department
Identifies the name of a department.
manager
The user's manager. A complex type that optionally allows service providers to represent organizational hierarchy by referencing the id attribute of another User.
value
The id of the SCIM resource representing the user's manager. RECOMMENDED.
$ref
The URI of the SCIM resource representing the User's manager. RECOMMENDED.
displayName
The displayName of the user's manager. This attribute is OPTIONAL and mutability is readOnly.

8. SCIM Group Schema

SCIM provides a schema for representing groups, identified using the following schema URI: urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group.

Group resources are meant to enable expression of common group or role based access control models, although no explicit authorization model is defined. It is intended that the semantics of group membership and any behavior or authorization granted as a result of membership are defined by the service provider are considered out of scope for this specification.

The following singular attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in SCIM core schema:

displayName
A human readable name for the Group. REQUIRED.

The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in SCIM Core Schema:

members
A list of members of the Group. While values MAY be added or removed, sub-attributes of members are immutable. The value sub-attribute must be the id and the $ref sub-attribute must be the URI of a SCIM resource, either a User, or a Group. The intention of the Group type is to allow the service provider to support nested groups. Service providers MAY require clients to provide a non-empty members value based on the required sub attribute of the members attribute in the Group resource schema.

9. Service Provider Configuration Schema

SCIM provides a schema for representing the service provider's configuration identified using the following schema URI: urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:ServiceProviderConfig

The service provider configuration resource enables a service provider to discovery of SCIM specification features in a standardized form as well as provide additional implementation details to clients. All attributes are READ-ONLY (a mutability of readOnly). Unlike other core resources, the id attribute is not required for the service provider configuration resource.

The following Singular Attributes are defined in addition to the common attributes defined in Core Schema:

documentationUrl
An HTTP addressable URL pointing to the service provider's human consumable help documentation.
patch
A complex type that specifies PATCH configuration options. REQUIRED.
supported
Boolean value specifying whether the operation is supported. REQUIRED.
bulk
A complex type that specifies BULK configuration options. REQUIRED

Boolean value specifying whether the operation is supported. REQUIRED.

maxOperations
An integer value specifying the maximum number of operations. REQUIRED.

maxPayloadSize
An integer value specifying the maximum payload size in bytes. REQUIRED.
filter
A complex type that specifies FILTER options. REQUIRED.

Boolean value specifying whether the operation is supported. REQUIRED.
maxResults
Integer value specifying the maximum number of resources returned in a response. REQUIRED.
changePassword
A complex type that specifies Change Password configuration options. REQUIRED.

supported
Boolean value specifying whether the operation is supported. REQUIRED.

The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in core schema:

authenticationSchemes
A complex type that specifies supported Authentication Scheme properties. This attribute defines the following canonical values to represent common schemes: oauth, oauth2, oauthbearertoken, httpbasic, and httpdigest. To enable seamless discovery of configuration, the service provider SHOULD, with the appropriate security considerations, make the authenticationSchemes attribute publicly accessible without prior authentication. REQUIRED.
name
The common authentication scheme name; e.g., HTTP Basic. REQUIRED.
description
A description of the Authentication Scheme. REQUIRED.
specUrl
A HTTP addressable URL pointing to the Authentication Scheme's specification. OPTIONAL.
documentationUrl
A HTTP addressable URL pointing to the Authentication Scheme's usage documentation. OPTIONAL.

10. ResourceType Schema

The ResourceType schema specifies the meta-data about a resource type. Resource type resources are READ-ONLY and identified using the following schema URI: urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:ResourceType. Unlike other core resources, all attributes are REQUIRED unless otherwise specified. The id attribute is not required for the resource type resource.

The following Singular Attributes are defined:

id
The resource type's server unique id. Often this is the same value as the name attribute. OPTIONAL
name
The resource type name. When applicable service providers MUST specify the name specified in the core schema specification; e.g., User or Group. This name is referenced by the meta.resourceType attribute in all resources.
description
The resource type's human readable description. When applicable service providers MUST specify the description specified in the core schema specification.
endpoint
The resource type's HTTP addressable endpoint relative to the Base URL; e.g., /Users.
schema
The resource type's primary schema URI; e.g., urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User. This MUST be equal to the id attribute of the associated Schema resource.
schemaExtensions
A list of URIs of the resource type's schema extensions. OPTIONAL.
schema
The URI of an extended schema; e.g., urn:edu:2.0:Staff. This MUST be equal to the id attribute of a Schema resource. REQUIRED.
required
A Boolean value that specifies whether the schema extension is required for the resource type. If true, a resource of this type MUST include this schema extension and include any attributes declared as required in this schema extension. If false, a resource of this type MAY omit this schema extension. REQUIRED.

11. Schema Schema

The Schema schema specifies the attribute(s) and meta-data that constitute a Schema resource. Schema resources have mutability of readOnly and identified using the following URI: urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Schema. Unlike other core resources the Schema resource MAY contain a complex object within a sub-attribute and all attributes are REQUIRED unless otherwise specified.

The following Singular Attributes are defined:

id
The unique URI of the schema. When applicable service providers MUST specify the URI specified in the core schema specification; e.g., urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User. Unlike most other schemas, which use some sort of a GUID for the id, the schema id is a URI so that it can be registered and is portable between different service providers and clients.
name
The schema's human readable name. When applicable service providers MUST specify the name specified in the core schema specification; e.g., User or Group. OPTIONAL.
description
The schema's human readable description. When applicable service providers MUST specify the description specified in the core schema specification. OPTIONAL.

The following multi-valued attribute is defined:

attributes
A complex type that specifies the set of resource attributes.
name
The attribute's name.
type
The attribute's data type; e.g., String.
multiValued
Boolean value indicating the attribute's plurality.
description
The attribute's human readable description. When applicable service providers MUST specify the description specified in the core schema specification.
required
A Boolean value that specifies if the attribute is required.
caseExact
A Boolean value that specifies if the String attribute is case sensitive.
mutability
A single keyword indicating what types of modifications an attribute MAY accept as follows:
readOnly
The attribute MAY NOT be modified.
readWrite
The attribute MAY be updated and read at any time. DEFAULT.
immutable
The attribute MAY be defined at resource creation (e.g. POST) or at record replacement via request (e.g. a PUT). The attribute MAY NOT be updated.
writeOnly
The attribute MAY be updated at any time. Attribute values MAY NOT be returned (e.g. because the value is a stored hash). Note: an attribute with mutability of writeOnly usually also has a returned setting of never.
returned
A single keyword that indicates when an attribute and associated values are returned in response to a GET request or in response to a PUT, POST, or PATCH request. Valid keywords are:
always
The attribute is always returned regardless of the contents of the attributes parameter. For example, id is always returned to identify a SCIM resource.
never
The attribute is never returned. This may occur because the original attribute value is not retained by the service provider (e.g. such as with a hashed value). A service provider MAY allow attributes to be used in a search filter.
default
The attribute is returned by default in all SCIM operation responses where attribute values are returned. If the GET request attributes parameter is specified, attribute values are only returned if the attribute is named in the attributes parameter. DEFAULT.
request
The attribute is returned in response to any PUT, POST, or PATCH operations if the attribute was specified by the client (for example, the attribute was modified). The attribute is returned in a SCIM query operation only if specified in the attributes parameter.
uniqueness
A single keyword value that specifies how the service provider enforces uniqueness of attribute values. A server MAY reject an invalid value based on uniqueness by returning HTTP Response code 400 (Bad Request). A client MAY enforce uniqueness on the client-side to a greater degree than the service provider enforces. For example, a client could make a value unique while the server has uniqueness of none. Valid keywords are:
none
The values are not intended to be unique in any way. DEFAULT.
server
The value SHOULD be unique within the context of the current SCIM endpoint (or tenancy) but MAY not be globally unique (e.g. a username, email address, or other server generated key or counter). No two resources on the same server SHOULD possess the same value.
global
The value SHOULD be globally unique (e.g. an email address, a GUID, or other value). No two resources on any server SHOULD possess the same value.
referenceTypes
The names of the resource types that may be referenced; e.g., User. This is only applicable for attributes that are of the reference Section 3.1.7 data type.
The following multi-valued attributes are defined. There are no canonical type values defined and the primary value serves no useful purpose.
name
The attribute's name.
type
The attribute's data type; e.g., String.
description
The attribute's human readable description. When applicable service providers MUST specify the description specified in the core schema specification.
required
A Boolean value that specifies if the attribute is required.
caseExact
A Boolean value that specifies if the String attribute is case sensitive.
referenceTypes
The names of the resource types that may be referenced; e.g., User. This is only applicable for attributes that are of the reference Section 3.1.7 data type.
canonicalValues
A collection of canonical values. When applicable service providers MUST specify the canonical types specified in the core schema specification; e.g.,work,home. OPTIONAL.
mutability
A single keyword indicating what types of modifications an attribute MAY accept as follows:
readOnly
The attribute MAY NOT be modified.
readWrite
The attribute MAY be updated and read at any time. DEFAULT.
immutable
The attribute MAY be defined at resource creation (e.g. POST) or at record replacement via request (e.g. a PUT). The attribute MAY NOT be updated.
writeOnly
The attribute MAY be updated at any time. Attribute values MAY NOT be returned (e.g. because the value is a stored hash). Note: an attribute with mutability of writeOnly usually also has a returned setting of never.
returned
A single keyword that indicates when an attribute and associated values are returned in response to a GET request or in response to a PUT, POST, or PATCH request. Valid keywords are:
always
The attribute is always returned regardless of the contents of the attributes parameter. For example, id is always returned to identify a SCIM resource.
never
The attribute is never returned. This may occur because the original attribute value is not retained by the service provider (e.g. such as with a hashed value). A service provider MAY allow attributes to be used in a search filter.
default
The attribute is returned by default in all SCIM operation responses where attribute values are returned. If the GET request attributes parameter is specified, attribute values are only returned if the attribute is named in the attributes parameter. DEFAULT.
request
The attribute is returned in response to any PUT, POST, or PATCH operations if the attribute was specified by the client (for example, the attribute was modified). The attribute is returned in a SCIM query operation only if specified in the attributes parameter.
uniqueness
A single keyword value that specifies how the service provider enforces uniqueness of attribute values. A server MAY reject an invalid value based on uniqueness by returning HTTP Response code 400 (Bad Request). A client MAY enforce uniqueness on the client-side to a greater degree than the service provider enforces. For example, a client could make a value unique while the server has uniqueness of none. Valid keywords are:
none
The values are not intended to be unique in any way. DEFAULT.
server
The value SHOULD be unique within the context of the current SCIM endpoint (or tenancy) but MAY not be globally unique (e.g. a username, email address, or other server generated key or counter). No two resources on the same server SHOULD possess the same value.
global
The value SHOULD be globally unique (e.g. an email address, a GUID, or other value). No two resources on any server SHOULD possess the same value.
