Configure GiiS with SCIM 2.0 to automatically provision and deprovision users and groups from your identity provider.

GiiS has been tested with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD). Other SCIM 2.0 providers have not been validated yet. If you need support for a specific provider, reach out on our Slack or Discord channels and we can add it to the roadmap.

INFO

SCIM handles provisioning — syncing users and groups into GiiS. You still need a separate authentication method (e.g. OIDC or SAML) for user sign-in.

What SCIM Does

• User provisioning — Automatically create GiiS accounts when users are assigned in your IdP
• User deprovisioning — Deactivate GiiS accounts when users are unassigned or suspended
• Group sync — Push group membership changes from your IdP to GiiS
• Profile updates — Keep user attributes (name, email) in sync

Generate a SCIM Token

Before configuring your identity provider, generate a SCIM bearer token in GiiS.

Navigate to SCIM Settings

In your GiiS instance, go to the Admin Panel → Permissions → SCIM.

Generate Token

Click Generate SCIM Token. A new bearer token will be created for your IdP to authenticate with.

::: warning
  The token is displayed **only once**. Copy or download it immediately.
  Generating a new token will revoke the previous one.

:::

You will need these two values when configuring your identity provider:

Field	Value
SCIM Base URL	https://YOUR_GIIS_DOMAIN/scim/v2
Bearer Token	The token generated above

Configure Your Identity Provider

Use the SCIM Base URL and Bearer Token from the previous step when configuring provisioning in your IdP.

Follow Okta's guide to add SCIM provisioning to your application

Follow Microsoft's guide to configure automatic provisioning

When prompted for connection details, use:

IdP Field	Value
SCIM Base URL / Tenant URL	https://YOUR_GIIS_DOMAIN/scim/v2
Authentication	Bearer token (HTTP Header)

Verifying the Connection

Once provisioning is configured, the SCIM page in the GiiS Admin Panel will show a Connected status once the IdP has made its first request. You can also check the Users and Groups page to confirm that provisioned users and groups appear correctly.

Supported Attributes

The SCIM discovery endpoints are unauthenticated — no token required. You can query them directly to see exactly what GiiS supports without guessing.

curl -s https://YOUR_GIIS_DOMAIN/scim/v2/Schemas -H "Accept: application/scim+json" | jq .
curl -s https://YOUR_GIIS_DOMAIN/scim/v2/ServiceProviderConfig -H "Accept: application/scim+json" | jq .
curl -s https://YOUR_GIIS_DOMAIN/scim/v2/ResourceTypes -H "Accept: application/scim+json" | jq .
