System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema
draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-05
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.

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.
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
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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.

Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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 names SHOULD be camelCased. SCIM resources are represented
in JSON [RFC7159] and MUST specify schema via the "schemas" attribute
per Section 5.2.
Attribute names MUST conform to the following ABNF [RFC5234] rules:
ATTRNAME = ALPHA *(nameChar)
nameChar = "-" / "_" / DIGIT / ALPHA
Figure 1
3.1. Attribute Data Types
Attribute data types are derived from JSON [RFC7159] and unless
otherwise specified have the following characteristics (see
Section 11 for attribute characteristic definitions):
are optional ("required=false").
are case insensitive ("caseExact=false"),
are modifiable ("mutability=readWrite"),
are returned in response to queries ("returned=default"),
are not unique ("uniqueness=none"), and,
of type String (Section 3.1.1).
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.
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
3.1.1. 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.
3.1.2. Boolean
The literal "true" or "false". The JSON format is defined in
Section 3 [RFC7159] .
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 6 [RFC7159] .
3.1.4. 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.
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 7 [RFC7159].
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 2.7 [RFC7159].
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
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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 4 [RFC7159] .
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.
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.
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
$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
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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.").
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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
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
[I-D.ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics]. 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.
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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.
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".
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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 (Section 8). 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 3.1.6) 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:EnterpriseUser".
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.
$ref The URI of the SCIM resource representing the User's
manager. RECOMMENDED.
displayName The displayName of the user's manager. This
attribute is OPTIONAL and mutability is "readOnly".
8. SCIM Group Schema
SCIM provides a schema for representing groups, identified using the
following schema URI: "urn:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Group".
Group resources are meant to enable expression of common group or
role based access control models, although no explicit authorization
model is defined. It is intended that the semantics of group
membership and any behavior or authorization granted as a result of
membership are defined by the service provider are considered out of
scope for this specification.
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
The following singular attribute is defined in addition to the common
attributes defined in SCIM core schema:
displayName A human readable name for the Group. REQUIRED.
The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the
common attributes defined in SCIM Core Schema:
members A list of members of the Group. While values MAY be added
or removed, sub-attributes of members are "immutable". The
"value" sub-attribute must be the "id" and the "$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
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.

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.
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. 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.
writeOnly The attribute MAY be updated at any time. Attribute
values SHALL 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.

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.

13. 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.
14. IANA Considerations
14.1. Registering New 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 5.2) for the purpose of distinguishing extensions used in a
SCIM resource.
14.1.1. 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 vcarddav@ietf.org
and iana@iana.org. Within two weeks, the designated expert is
expected to tell IANA and the submitter of the registration whether
Grizzle, et al. Expires November 14, 2014 [Page 54]
Internet-Draft draft-scim-core-schema-05 May 2014
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.
14.1.2. 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").
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.
14.2. Initial SCIM Schema Registry
The IANA has created and will maintain the following registries for
SCIM schema URIs with pointers to appropriate reference documents.
