# SCIM provisioning
|
||
|
||
{!admin-only.md!}
|
||
|
||
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a standard
|
||
protocol used by Single Sign-On (SSO) services and identity providers
|
||
to provision/deprovision user accounts and groups. Zulip supports SCIM
|
||
integration, both in Zulip Cloud and for [self-hosted](/self-hosting/)
|
||
Zulip servers. This page describes how to configure SCIM provisioning
|
||
for Zulip.
|
||
|
||
Zulip's SCIM integration has the following limitations:
|
||
|
||
* Provisioning Groups is not yet implemented.
|
||
* While Zulip's SCIM integration is generic, we've only fully
|
||
documented the setup process with the Okta and Microsoft EntraID
|
||
SCIM providers. [Zulip support](/help/contact-support) is happy to
|
||
help customers configure this integration with SCIM providers that
|
||
do not yet have detailed self-service documentation on this page.
|
||
|
||
{!cloud-plus-only.md!}
|
||
|
||
## Configure SCIM
|
||
|
||
{start_tabs}
|
||
|
||
{tab|okta}
|
||
|
||
{!upgrade-to-plus-if-needed.md!}
|
||
|
||
1. Contact [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) to request the
|
||
**Bearer token** that Okta will use to authenticate to your SCIM API.
|
||
|
||
1. In your Okta Dashboard, go to **Applications**, and select
|
||
**Browse App Catalog**.
|
||
|
||
1. Search for **SCIM** and select **SCIM 2.0 Test App (Header Auth)**.
|
||
|
||
1. Click **Add** and choose your **Application label**. For example, you can
|
||
name it "Zulip SCIM".
|
||
|
||
1. Continue to **Sign-On Options**. Leave the **SAML** options as they are.
|
||
This type of Okta application doesn't actually support SAML authentication,
|
||
and you'll need to set up a separate Okta app to activate SAML for your Zulip
|
||
organization.
|
||
|
||
1. In **Credentials Details**, specify the following fields:
|
||
* **Application username format**: `Email`
|
||
* **Update application username on**: `Create and update`
|
||
|
||
1. In the **Provisioning** tab, click **Configure API Integration**, check the
|
||
**Enable API integration** checkbox, and specify the following fields:
|
||
* **Base URL**: `yourorganization.zulipchat.com/scim/v2`
|
||
* **API token**: `Bearer <token>` (given to you by Zulip support)
|
||
|
||
When you proceed to the next step, Okta will verify that these details are
|
||
correct by making a SCIM request to the Zulip server.
|
||
|
||
1. Enable the following **Provisioning to App** settings:
|
||
* **Create Users**
|
||
* **Update User Attributes**
|
||
* **Deactivate Users**
|
||
|
||
1. Remove all attributes in **Attribute Mappings**, _except_ for the following:
|
||
* **userName**
|
||
* **givenName**
|
||
* **familyName**
|
||
|
||
1. **Optional:** If you'd like to also sync [user role](/help/roles-and-permissions),
|
||
you can do it by adding a custom attribute in Okta. Go to the **Profile Editor**,
|
||
click into the entry of the SCIM app you've just set up and **Add Attribute**.
|
||
Configure the following:
|
||
* **Data type**: `string`
|
||
* **Variable name**: `role`
|
||
* **External name**: `role`
|
||
* **External namespace**: `urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User`
|
||
|
||
With the attribute added, you will now be able to set it for your users directly
|
||
or configure an appropriate **Attribute mapping** in the app's **Provisioning**
|
||
section.
|
||
The valid values are: **owner**, **administrator**, **moderator**, **member**, **guest**.
|
||
|
||
1. Now that the integration is ready to manage Zulip user accounts, **assign**
|
||
users to the SCIM app.
|
||
* When you assign a user, Okta will check if the account exists in your
|
||
Zulip organization. If it doesn't, the account will be created.
|
||
* Changes to the user's email or name in Okta will automatically cause the
|
||
Zulip account to be updated accordingly.
|
||
* Unassigning a user from the app will deactivate their Zulip account.

|
||
|
||
1. Contact [support@zulip.com](mailto:support@zulip.com) to request the
|
||
**Secret Token** that Entra will use to authenticate to your SCIM API.
|
||
|
||
1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com/).
|
||
|
||
1. Go to **Identity** -> **Applications** -> **Enterprise applications**.
|
||
|
||
1. Select **New application** -> **Create your own application**.
|
||
|
||
1. Complete the form:
|
||
* Enter a name for your application.
|
||
* Select the option **Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery**.
|
||
* Click **Add** to create the new app. It will be added to your **Enterprise applications**.
|
||
|
||
1. Continue to the app's management screen and click **Provisioning** in the left panel.
|
||
|
||
1. In the **Provisioning Mode** menu, select **Automatic** and specify the following fields:
|
||
* **Tenant URL**: `http://yourorganization.zulipchat.com/scim/v2/?aadOptscim062020`.
|
||
The `?aadOptscim062020` part of it is a [feature flag][feature-flag]
|
||
that needs to be added to ensure SCIM compliance by Entra ID.
|
||
* **Secret Token**: `<token>` (given to you by Zulip support)
|
||
|
||
1. Click **Test Connection.**
|
||
|
||
1. In the **Mappings** section, there are two sets of [attribute
|
||
mappings][attribute-mappings]: one for Users and one for
|
||
Groups. Make sure to set **Provision Microsoft Entra ID Groups** to
|
||
be disabled. Provisioning of Groups is currently not supported in
|
||
Zulip.
|
||
|
||
1. In **Provision Microsoft Entra ID Users**, configure the necessary mappings:
|
||
|
||
* Change **userName** to map to **mail**. **Important**: You need
|
||
**mail** to be set for all your users or trying to assign them
|
||
to the app will fail.
|
||
* Delete the other default entries leaving only the **active** and
|
||
**name.formatted** mappings, until your list looks like the
|
||
image below.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Once your configuration is complete, set the **Provisioning
|
||
Status** to **On** and then click **Save** to start the Microsoft
|
||
Entra provisioning service.
|
||
|
||
1. Now you can proceed to the **Users and groups** tab, where you can
|
||
assign users to be provisioned via this integration.
|
||
|
||
1. Wait for the initial provisioning cycle to be started by
|
||
Entra. This might take up to 40 minutes. This delay is entirely
|
||
inside Entra, and not under Zulip’s control. You can also use
|
||
[**Provision on demand**][provision-on-demand] in Entra to cause
|
||
immediate SCIM provisioning for specific users, which is handy when
|
||
testing the integration.

Once SCIM has been configured, consider also [configuring SAML](/help/saml-authentication).
