        System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema
                     draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-08

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.  An HTTP
   protocol binding document is also provided.

1.  Introduction and 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-standardized
   protocols 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 inter-operate 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 an HTTP based protocol.  It draws
   inspiration and best practice, building upon existing user protocols
   and schemas from a wide variety of sources including, but not limited
   to, existing services exposed by cloud providers, PortableContacts,
   vCards, and LDAP directory services.

   This document provides a JSON based schema and extension model for
   representing users and groups, as well as service provider
   configuration.  This schema is intended for exchange and use with
   cloud service providers and other cross-domain scenarios.  An HTTP
   protocol binding document is provided separately.

1.1.  Requirements Notation and Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   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.

1.2.  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:ietf:params: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".

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   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.

2.  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 names SHOULD be camelCased.  SCIM resources are represented
   in JSON [RFC7159] and MUST specify schema via the "schemas" attribute
   per Section 4.2.

   Attribute names MUST conform to the following ABNF [RFC5234] rules:

                  ATTRNAME   = ALPHA *(nameChar)
                  nameChar   = "-" / "_" / DIGIT / ALPHA

                    Figure 1: ABNF for Attribute Names

2.1.  Attribute Data Types

   Attribute data types are derived from JSON [RFC7159] and unless
   otherwise specified have the following characteristics (see
   Section 10 for attribute characteristic definitions):

      are optional (is not required).

      are case insensitive (caseExact=false),

      are modifiable (mutability is readWrite),

      are returned in response to queries (returned by default),

      are not unique (uniqueness=none), and,

      of type String (Section 2.1.1).

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   The JSON format defines a limited set of data types, hence, where
   appropriate, alternate JSON representations derived from XML Schema
   [XML-Schema] are defined below.  SCIM extensions SHOULD NOT introduce
   new data types.

2.1.1.  String

   A sequence of zero or more Unicode characters encoded using UTF-8 as
   per [RFC2277] and [RFC3629].  The JSON format is defined in Section 7
   [RFC7159].  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.

2.1.2.  Boolean

   The literal "true" or "false".  The JSON format is defined in
   Section 3 [RFC7159].

2.1.3.  Decimal

   A real number with at least one digit to the left and right of the
   period.  The JSON format is defined in Section 6 [RFC7159].

2.1.4.  Integer

   A decimal number with no fractional digits.  The JSON format is
   defined in Section 6 [RFC7159] with the additional constraint that
   the value MUST NOT contain fractional or exponent parts.

2.1.5.  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 7 [RFC7159].

2.1.6.  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 per Section 2.7 [RFC7159].

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

2.1.7.  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.

2.1.8.  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 4 [RFC7159].

2.2.  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.

   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".

Grizzle, et al.         Expires February 12, 2015               [Page 7]
Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   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.

   $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.

2.3.  Unassigned and Null Values

   Unassigned attributes, the null value, or empty array (in the case of
   a multi-valued attribute) SHALL be considered to be equivalent in
   "state".  Assigning an attribute with the value "null" or an empty
   array (in the case of multi-valued attributes) has the effect of
   making the attribute "unassigned".  When an resource is expressed in
   JSON form, unassigned attributes, though they are defined in schema,
   MAY be omitted for compactness.

3.  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 "schemas" value indicates additive schema
   that may exist in a SCIM resource representation.  The "schemas"
   attribute MUST contain at least one value which SHALL be the base
   schema for the resource.  The "schemas" attribute MAY contain
   additional values indicating extended schemas that are in use.
   Schema extensions SHOULD NOT redefine any attributes defined in this
   specification and SHOULD follow conventions defined in this
   specification.  Except for the base object schema, the schema
   extension URI SHALL be used as a JSON container to distinguish
   attributes belonging to the extension namespace from base schema
   attributes.  See Figure 4 for an example JSON representation of an
   extended User.

   In order to determine which "schemas" URI value is the base schema
   and which is extended schema for any given resource, the resource's

   "resourceType" attribute value MAY be used to retrieve the resource's
   "ResourceType" schema ( Section 9 ).  See example "ResourceType"
   representation in Figure 7.

4.  SCIM Core Schema

4.1.  Common Schema Attributes

   Each SCIM resource (Users, Groups, etc.) includes the following
   common attributes.  These attributes MUST be included in all
   resources, including any extended resource types.  Common attributes
   are considered to be part of every base resource schema and do not
   use their own schemas URI and SHALL not be considered schema
   extensions.

   id A unique identifier for a 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
      NOT be specified by the client.  The string "bullkId" is a
      reserved keyword and MUST NOT be used within any unique identifier
      value.  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 use
      a filter to locate 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.  This
         attribute has mutability of "readOnly".

      created  The DateTime the resource was added to the service
         provider.  The attribute MUST be a DateTime.  This attribute
         has mutability of "readOnly".

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

      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 and has mutability of "readOnly".

      location  The URI of the resource being returned.  This value MUST
         be the same as the Location HTTP response header.  The
         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.  The
         attribute has mutability of "readOnly".

4.2.  "schemas" Attribute

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

   A "schemas" attribute contains URIs which are used to indicate the
   namespace and version of SCIM schema as well as any schema
   extensions.  The first value SHALL indicate the base schema for the
   resource.

   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.

5.  SCIM User Schema

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

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

5.1.  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

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

      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
      languages and is generally used for selecting a localized User
      interface.  The value indicates the set of natural languages that
      are preferred.  The format of the value is same as the Accept-
      Language header field (not including "Accept-Language:") of HTTP
      and is specified in Section 5.3.5 of [RFC7231].  The intent of
      this value is to enable cloud applications to perform matching of
      language tags [RFC4647] to the user's language preferences
      regardless of what may be indicated by a user agent (which might
      be shared), or in a non-user present interaction (such as in a
      delegated OAuth2 [RFC6749] style interaction) where normal HTTP
      Accept-Language header negotiation cannot take place.

   locale  Used to indicate the User's default location for purposes of
      localizing items such as currency, date time format, numerical
      representations, etc.  A valid value is a language tag as defined
      in [RFC5646].  Computer languages are explicitly excluded.

      A language tag is a sequence of one or more case-insensitive sub-
      tags, each separated by a hyphen character ("-", %x2D).  For
      backwards compatibility reasons, servers MAY accept tags separated
      by an underscore character ("_", %5F).  In most cases, a language
      tag consists of a primary language sub-tag that identifies a broad
      family of related languages (e.g., "en" = English) which is
      optionally followed by a series of sub-tags that refine or narrow
      that language's range (e.g., "en-CA" = the variety of English as
      communicated in Canada).  Whitespace is not allowed within a
      language tag.  Example tags include:

           fr, en-US, es-419, az-Arab, x-pig-latin, man-Nkoo-GN

      See [RFC5646] for further information.

   timezone  The User's time zone in IANA Time Zone database format
      [RFC6557], also known as "Olson" timezone database format
      [Olson-TZ] ; For example: "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.

5.2.  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

Grizzle, et al.         Expires February 12, 2015              [Page 13]
Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

      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 (Section 7).  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 (Section 2.1.6) and DER encoded x509.  This value has
      NO canonical types.

6.  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:ietf:params: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.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   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".

7.  SCIM Group Schema

   SCIM provides a schema for representing groups, identified using the
   following schema URI: "urn:ietf:params: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.

8.  Service Provider Configuration Schema

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

Grizzle, et al.         Expires February 12, 2015              [Page 16]
Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   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.

      REQUIRED

      supported  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.

      supported  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.

   sort  A complex type that specifies Sort configuration options.
      REQUIRED.

   etag  A complex type that specifies Etag 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.

9.  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:ietf:params: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

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   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:ietf:params: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.

10.  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:ietf:params: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:ietf:params: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.  The server SHALL use case sensitivity when
         evaluating filters.  For attributes that are case exact, the
         server SHALL preserve case for any value submitted.  If the
         attribute is case insensitive, the server MAY alter case for a
         submitted value.

      mutability  A single keyword indicating what types of
         modifications an attribute MAY accept as follows:

         readOnly  The attribute SHALL 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 SHALL NOT be updated.

            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 2.1.7 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 2.1.7 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

               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.

12.  Security Considerations

   The SCIM Core schema contains personally identifiable information as
   well as other sensitive data.  Aside from prohibiting password values
   in a SCIM response this specification does not provide any means or
   guarantee of confidentiality.

13.  IANA Considerations

13.1.  New Registration of SCIM URN Sub-namespace

   IANA has created a registry for new IETF URN sub-namespaces,
   "urn:ietf:params:scim:", per [RFC3553].  The registration request is
   as follows:

   Per [RFC3553], IANA has registered a new URN sub-namespace,
   "urn:ietf:params:scim".

   o  Registry name: scim

   o  Specification: [this document]

   o  Repository: [see Section 13.2]

   o  Index value: values [see Section 13.2]

13.2.  URN Sub-Namespace for SCIM

   SCIM schemas and SCIM messages utilize URIs to identify the schema in
   use or other relevant context.  This section creates and registers an

   IETF URN Sub-namespace for use in the SCIM specifications and future
   extensions.

13.2.1.  Specification Template

   Namespace ID:

      The Namespace ID "scim" is requested.

   Registration Information:

      Version: 1

      Date: [[insert final submission date]]

   Declared registrant of the namespace:

      Registering organization
         The Internet Engineering Task Force

      Designated contact
         A designated expert will monitor the SCIM public mailing list,
         "scim@ietf.org".

   Declaration of Syntactic Structure:

      The Namespace Specific String (NSS) of all URNs that use the
      "scim" NID shall have the following structure:

   urn:ietf:params:scim:{type}:{name}{:sName}:{vers}{:class}{:resType}

      The keywords have the following meaning:

      type
         The entity type which is either "schemas" or "api".

      name
         A required US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax
         requirements (see [RFC2141] ) and defines a major namespace of
         object used within SCIM (e.g. "core", "extension" ).  The name
         "extension" MAY be used when the registered schema it refers to
         is intended to be used as an extension to another schema.

         An optional US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax
         requirements (see [RFC2141] ) and defines a sub-class of object
         used within SCIM (e.g. "enterprise").

Grizzle, et al.         Expires February 12, 2015              [Page 56]
Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

      vers
         The first SCIM protocol version number where the URN is valid
         (e.g. "2.0" ).

      class
         An optional US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax
         requirements (see [RFC2141] ) and defines a major class of
         object used within SCIM.

      resType
         An optional US-ASCII string that conforms to the URN syntax
         requirements (see [RFC2141] ) and typically is used when
         referring to a resource type within SCIM (e.g.  User).

   Relevant Ancillary Documentation:

      None

   Identifier Uniqueness Considerations:

      The designated contact shall be responsible for reviewing and
      enforcing uniqueness.

   Identifier Persistence Considerations:

      Once a name has been allocated it MUST NOT be re-allocated for a
      different purpose.  The rules provided for assignments of values
      within a sub-namespace MUST be constructed so that the meaning of
      values cannot change.  This registration mechanism is not
      appropriate for naming values whose meaning may change over time.

      As the SCIM specifications are updated and the SCIM protocol
      version is adjusted, a new registration will be made when
      significant changes are made.  Example,
      "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:1.0 (externally defined, not
      previously registered)" and
      "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0".

   Process of Identifier Assignment:

      Identifiers with namespace type "schema" (e.g.
      "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas" ) are assigned after the review of
      the assigned contact via the SCIM public mailing list,
      "scim@ietf.org" as documented in Section 13.3.

      Namespaces with type "api" (e.g. "urn:ietf:params:scim:api" ) are
      reserved for IETF approved SCIM specifications.  Namespaces with
      type "param" are reserved for future use.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   Process of Identifier Resolution:

      The namespace is not currently listed with a Resolution Discovery
      System (RDS), but nothing about the namespace prohibits the future
      definition of appropriate resolution methods or listing with an
      RDS.

   Rules for Lexical Equivalence:

      No special considerations; the rules for lexical equivalence
      specified in [RFC2141] apply.

   Conformance with URN Syntax:

      No special considerations.

   Validation Mechanism:

      None specified.

   Scope:

      Global.

13.2.2.  Pre-Registered SCIM Schema Identifiers

   The following SCIM Identifiers are defined:

   urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0

      SCIM Core Schema as specified in Section 4 and Section 13.4.

   urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0

      Enterprise schema extensions as defined in Section 6 and
      Section 13.4.

13.3.  Registering SCIM Schemas

   This section defines the process for registering new SCIM schemas
   with IANA.  A schema URI is used as a value in the schemas attribute
   ( Section 4.2 ) for the purpose of distinguishing extensions used in
   a SCIM resource.

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

13.3.1.  Registration Procedure

   The IETF has created a mailing list, scim@ietf.org, which can be used
   for public discussion of SCIM schema proposals prior to registration.
   Use of the mailing list is strongly encouraged.  The IESG has
   appointed a designated expert who will monitor the scim@ietf.org
   mailing list and review registrations.

   Registration of new schemas MUST be reviewed by the designated expert
   and published in an RFC.  A Standards Track RFC is REQUIRED for the
   registration of new value data types that modify existing properties.
   A Standards Track RFC is also REQUIRED for registration of SCIM
   schema URIs that modify SCIM schema previously documented in a
   Standards Track RFC.

   The registration procedure begins when a completed registration
   template, defined in the sections below, is sent to scim@ietf.org and
   iana@iana.org.  Within two weeks, the designated expert is expected
   to tell IANA and the submitter of the registration whether the
   registration is approved, approved with minor changes, or rejected
   with cause.  When a registration is rejected with cause, it can be
   re-submitted if the concerns listed in the cause are addressed.
   Decisions made by the designated expert can be appealed to the IESG
   Applications Area Director, then to the IESG.  They follow the normal
   appeals procedure for IESG decisions.

   Once the registration procedure concludes successfully, IANA creates
   or modifies the corresponding record in the SCIM schema registry.
   The completed registration template is discarded.

   An RFC specifying new schema URI MUST include the completed
   registration templates, which MAY be expanded with additional
   information.  These completed templates are intended to go in the
   body of the document, not in the IANA Considerations section.  The
   RFC SHOULD include any attributes defined.

13.3.2.  Schema Registration Template

   A SCIM schema URI is defined by completing the following template:

   Schema URI:  Schema URI: A unique URI for the SCIM schema extension.

   Schema Name:  A descriptive name of the schema extension (e.g.
      Generic Device)

   Intended or Associated Resource Type:  A value defining the resource
      type (e.g.  "Device").

Internet-Draft          draft-scim-core-schema-08            August 2014

   Purpose:  A description of the purpose of the extension and/or its
      intended use.

   Single-value Attributes:  A list and description of single-valued
      attributes defined including complex attributes.

   Multi-valued Attributes:  A list and description of multi-valued
      attributes defined including complex attributes.

13.4.  Initial SCIM Schema Registry

   SCIM schema URIs with pointers to appropriate reference documents.
