SCIMClient is a type-unsafe workaround for django-scim2’s conflation
of SCIM users with Django users. Given that a SCIMClient is not a
UserProfile, it might as well not be a model at all, since it’s only
used to satisfy django-scim2’s request.user.is_authenticated queries.
This doesn’t solve the type safety issue with assigning a SCIMClient
to request.user, nor the performance issue with running the SCIM
middleware on non-SCIM requests. But it reduces the risk of potential
consequences worse than crashing, since there’s no longer a
request.user.id for Django to confuse with the ID of an actual
UserProfile.
