System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema
draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-22
The System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specifications are designed to make identity management 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 HTTP protocol.
This document provides a platform neutral schema and extension model for representing users and groups and other resource types in JSON format. This schema is intended for exchange and use with cloud service providers.
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

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 would require pairwise integration.
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 a SCIM Protocol document, that defines exchanging this schema via an HTTP based protocol [I-D.ietf-scim-api]. [[RFC Editor: This document an the companion scim-api document should be published together]] 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 [PortableContacts], vCards [RFC6350], and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory services [RFC4512].
SCIM protocol is an application-level protocol for provisioning and managing identity data specified through SCIM schemas. The protocol supports creation, modification, retrieval, and discovery of core identity resources such as Users and Groups, using a subset of the HTTP methods (GET for retrieval of resources, POST for creation, searching and bulk modification, PUT for attribute replacement within resources, PATCH for partial update of attributes, and DELETE for removing resources).
While the SCIM protocol and core schema specifications are intended to cover point-to-point scenarios, implementers and deployers should consider multi-hop and multi-party scenarios such as a service provider acting as a general profile service for in-domain applications (e.g., a directory); as well as, scenarios where a service provider in turn passes information to a 3rd party service provider either by acting as a SCIM client or as a SCIM service provider. Implementers and deployers should consider carefully their service level agreements and privacy agreements when distributing or propagating personal information (see also Privacy Considerations, Section 9.3).
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.
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].
The key words "REQUIRED" and "OPTIONAL" are used throughout this document to indicate whether an attribute or schema element is required or optional. These keywords may be used alone (e.g., "REQUIRED."), or in a sentence. If not specified, an attribute is considered to be optional.
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.
Throughout this document all figures may contain spaces and extra line-wrapping for readability and space reasons. Similarly, some URI's contained within examples, have been shortened for space and readability reasons.
A SCIM server provides a set of resources, the allowable contents of which are defined by a set of schema URIs and a resource type. SCIM's schema is not a document-centric one such as with [XML-Schema]. Instead, SCIM's support of schema is attribute based where each attribute may have different type, mutability, cardinality, or returnability. validation of documents and messages is always performed, as specified by the SCIM specifications by an intended receiver. Validation is performed by the receiver in the context of a SCIM protocol request (see [I-D.ietf-scim-api]). For example, a SCIM service provider, upon receiving a request to replace an existing resource with a replacement JSON object, evaluates each asserted attribute based on its characteristics as defined in the relevant schema (e.g., mutability) and decides which attributes may be replaced or ignored.
This specification provides a minimal core schema for representing users and groups (resources), encompassing common attributes found in many existing deployments and schemas. In addition to the minimal core schema, this document also specifies a standardized means by which service providers may extend schemas to define new resources and attributes in both standardized and service provider specific cases.
Resources are categorized into common resource types such as User or Group). Collections of resources of the same type are usually contained within the same "container" ("folder") endpoint.
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. For each attribute, SCIM schema defines the data type, plurality, mutability, and other distinguishing features of an attribute.
Attribute names are case-insensitive and are often camel-cased (e.g., "camelCase"). SCIM resources are represented in JSON [RFC7159] and MUST specify schema via the schemas attribute per Section 3.
ATTRNAME = ALPHA *(nameChar) nameChar = "$" / "-" / "_" / DIGIT / ALPHA
Figure 1: ABNF for Attribute Names
Attribute names MUST conform to the following ABNF rules: Appendix B [RFC5234]. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, all ABNF strings are case insensitive and the character set for these strings is US-ASCII. For example, all attribute names defined by the above rule are case insensitive.
When defining attribute names it should be noted that the hyphen ("-") is not permitted in Javascript (and some other languages) attribute names. While there are no known issues within HTTP protocol and JSON notation, attribute names containing hyphens may need to be escaped when declaring corresponding names of Javascript attributes.
If not otherwise stated in Section 7, SCIM attributes have the following characteristics:
Attribute data types are derived from JSON [RFC7159]. 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.
The following is a table that maps the following data types, to SCIM schema type and the underlying JSON data type:
| SCIM Data Type | SCIM Schema "type" | JSON Type |
|---|---|---|
| String | string | String per Sec. 7 [RFC7159] |
| Boolean | boolean | Value per Sec. 3 [RFC7159] |
| Decimal | decimal | Number per Sec. 6 [RFC7159] |
| Integer | integer | Number per Sec. 6 [RFC7159] |
| DateTime | dateTime | String per Sec. 7 [RFC7159] |
| Binary | binary | Base64 encoded String per Sec. 7 [RFC7159] |
| Reference | reference | String per Sec. 7 [RFC7159] |
| Complex | complex | Object per Sec. 4 [RFC7159] |
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 canonicalValues is specified, service providers MAY restrict accepted values to the specified values.
The literal true or false. The JSON format is defined in Section 3 [RFC7159]. A boolean has no case sensitivity or uniqueness.
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]. A decimal has no case sensitivity.
A whole number with no fractional digits or decimal. The JSON format is defined in Section 6 [RFC7159] with the additional constraint that the value MUST NOT contain fractional or exponent parts. An integer has no case sensitivity.
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 3.3.7 [XML-Schema]and MUST include both a date and a time. A date-time has no case-sensitivity or uniqueness.
Values represented in JSON MUST conform to the XML constraints above and are represented as a JSON String per Section 7 [RFC7159].
Arbitrary binary data. The attribute value MUST be encoded in base 64 encoding as specified in Section 4 [RFC4648]. In cases where a URL-safe encoding is required, the attribute definition MAY specify Base 64 URL encoding be used as per Section 5 [RFC4648]. Unless otherwise specified in the attribute definition, trailing padding characters MAY be omitted ("=").
In JSON representation, the encoded values are represented as a JSON String per Section 7 [RFC7159]. A binary is case-exact and has no uniqueness.
The value is a URI for a resource. A resource MAY be a SCIM resource, an external link to a resource (e.g., a photo), or it may be an identifier such as a URN. 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]. However, the base URI for relative URI resolution MUST include all URI components and path segments up to but not including the Endpoint URI (the SCIM service provider root endpoint); 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.
In JSON representation, the URI value is represented as a JSON String per Section 7 [RFC7159]. A reference is case-exact. A reference has a referenceType that indicates what types of resources may be linked as per Section 7.
A reference URI MUST be to an HTTP addressable resource. An HTTP client performing a GET operation on a reference URI MUST receive the target resource or an appropriate HTTP response code. A SCIM service provider MAY choose to enforce referential integrity for reference types referring to SCIM resources.
By convention, a reference is commonly represented as a $ref sub-attribute in complex or multi-valued attributes, however this is OPTIONAL.
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 of [RFC7159]. The order of the component attributes is not significant. Servers and clients MUST NOT require or expect attributes to be in any specific order when an object is either generated or analyzed. A complex attribute has no uniqueness or case sensitivity. A complex attribute MUST NOT contain sub-attributes that have sub-attributes (i.e., that are complex).
Multi-valued attributes contain a list of elements using the JSON array format defined in Section 5 of [RFC7159]. Elements can be either
If not otherwise defined, the default set of sub-attributes for a multi-valued attribute are:
When returning multi-valued attributes, service providers SHOULD canonicalize the value returned (e.g., by returning a value for the sub-attribute type such as home or work) when appropriate (e.g., for e-mail addresses and URLs).
Service providers MAY return element objects with the same value sub-attribute more than once with a different type sub-attribute (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.
When defining schema for multi-valued attributes, it is considered a good practice to provide a type attribute that MAY be used for the purpose of canonicalization of values. In the schema definition for an attribute, the service provider MAY define the recommended canonical values (see Section 7).
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 a resource is expressed in JSON form, unassigned attributes, though they are defined in schema, MAY be omitted for compactness.
Each SCIM resource is a JSON object that has the following components:
The following example User contains the common attributes id, externalId, and the complex attribute meta which contains the sub-attribute resourceType. The resource also contains core attributes userName, name, as well as extended enterprise user attributes employeeNumber and costCenter which are contained in their own JSON sub-structure identified by their schema URI. Some values have been omitted (...), shortened or spaced out for clarity.

Figure 2: Example JSON Resource Structure
Each SCIM resource (Users, Groups, etc.) includes the following common attributes. With the exception of ServiceProviderConfig and ResourceType server discovery endpoints and their associated resources, these attributes MUST be defined for all resources, including any extended resource types. When accepted by a service provider (e.g., after a SCIM create), the attributes id and meta (and its associated sub-attributes) MUST be assigned values by the service provider. Common attributes are considered to be part of every base resource schema and do not use their own schemas URI.
For backwards compatibility reasons, some existing schema definitions MAY list common attributes as part of the schema. The attribute characteristics (see Section 2.2) listed here SHALL take precedence over older definitiions that may be included in existing schemas.
SCIM may be extended to define new classes of resources by defining a resource type. Each resource type defines the name, endpoint, base schema (the attributes), and any schema extensions registered for use with the resource type. In order to offer new types of resources, a service provider defines the new resource type as specified in Section 6 and defines a schema representation (see Section 8.7).
SCIM allows resource types to have extensions in addition to their core schema. This is similar to how ObjectClasses are used in LDAP [RFC4512]. However, unlike LDAP there is no inheritance model; all extensions are additive (similar to LDAP Auxiliary Object Class). Each value in the schemas attribute 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 avoid redefining 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 5 for an example of the JSON representation of an extended User.
In order to determine which URI value in the schemas attribute 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 (see Section 6). See also, example ResourceType representation in Figure 8.
This section defines the default resources schemas present in a SCIM server. SCIM is not exclusive to these resources, and may be extended to support other resource types (see Section 3.2).
SCIM provides a resource type for User resources. The core schema for User is identified using the URI: urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User. The following attributes are defined in addition to the core schema attributes:
fr, en-US, es-419, az-Arab, x-pig-latin, man-Nkoo-GN
A service provider that immediately passes the clear text value on to another system or programming interface, MUST pass the value directly over a secured connection (e.g., TLS). If the value needs to be temporarily persisted for a period of time (e.g., because of a workflow) before provisioning, then the value MUST be protected by some method such as encryption.
The following multi-valued attributes are defined.
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, and 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:
The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in SCIM Core Schema:
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:
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
The service provider configuration resource enables a service provider to discover SCIM specification features in a standardized form as well as provide additional implementation details to clients. All attributes have 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:
The following multi-valued attribute is defined in addition to the common attributes defined in core 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:
urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:Schema
This section defines a way to specify the schema in use by resources available and accepted by a SCIM service provider. For each schemas URI value, this schema specifies the defined attribute(s) and their characteristics (mutability, returnability, etc). For every schema URI used in a resource object, there is a corresponding Schema resource. Schema resources are not modifiable and their associated attributes have a mutability of readOnly. Except for id (which is always returned), all attributes have returned characteristic of default. Unless otherwise specified, all schema attributes are case-insensitive. These resources have a schemas attribute with the following schema URI: 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:
The following multi-valued attribute is defined:
This attribute is only applicable for attributes that are of type
reference (Section 2.3.7).The following is a non-normative example of the minimal required SCIM representation in JSON format.

Figure 10: Representation of Fixed ServiceProvider Endpoint Schemas
SCIM data is intended to be exchanged using SCIM Protocol. It is important when handling data to implement the security considerations outlined in Section 7 of [I-D.ietf-scim-api].
Passwords and other attributes related to security credentials are of extreme sensitive nature and require special handling when transmitted or stored. While SCIM Protocol uses clear-text passwords for setting and equality testing purposes, password values MUST NOT be stored in clear-text form.
Administrators should undertake industry best practices to protect the storage of credentials and in particular SHOULD follow recommendations outlines in Section 5.1.4.1 [RFC6819]. These requirements include but are not limited to:
The SCIM Core schema defines attributes that are sensitive and may be considered personally identifying information (PII). These privacy considerations should be considered for extensions as well as the schema defined in this specification.
For the purposes of this specification personally identifying information is defined as any attribute that may be used as a unique key to identify a person (e.g., User). Since other information may be used in combination to identify an individual, all attributes in SCIM are considered "sensitive" personal information. Consult regional jurisdictions to see if there are special considerations for the handling of personal and PII information.
Information should be shared on an as-needed basis. A SCIM client should limit information to what it believes a service provider requires, and a SCIM service provider, should only accept information it needs. Clients and service providers should take into consideration that personal information is being conveyed across technical (e.g., protocol and applications), administrative (e.g. organizational, corporate), and jurisdictional boundaries. In particular information security and privacy must be considered.
Security service level agreements for the handling of these attributes are beyond the scope of this document, but are to be carefully considered by implementers and deploying organizations.
Please see the Privacy Considerations section of [I-D.ietf-scim-api], for more protocol specific considerations for handling of SCIM information.
SCIM defines attributes such as id and externalId and SCIM resource URIs which causes new PII information to be generated which is important to the way SCIM protocol identifies and locates resources. Where possible, it is suggested that service providers take the following remediations:
IANA is requested to add an entry to the 'IETF URN Sub-namespace for Registered Protocol Parameter Identifiers' registry and create a sub-namespace for the Registered Parameter Identifier as per [RFC3553]: urn:ietf:params:scim.
To manage this sub-namespace, IANA is requested to create the "SCIM" Registry which shall be used to manage entries within the urn:ietf:params:scim namespace. The registry description is as follows:
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.
urn:ietf:params:scim:{type}:{name}{:other}
This section defines the process for registering new SCIM schemas with IANA in the "SCIM" registry (see Section 10.1). A schema URI is used as a value in the schemas attribute (Section 3) for the purpose of distinguishing extensions used in a SCIM resource.
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 "core" (e.g. in the namespace urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core) and "API" schemas (e.g., in the namespace urn:ietf:params:scim:api) MUST be reviewed by the designated expert and published in an RFC. An RFC is REQUIRED for the registration of new value data types that modify existing properties. An RFC is also REQUIRED for registration of SCIM schema URIs that modify SCIM schema previously documented in a existing RFC. URN's within the urn:ietf:params:scim, but outside the above namespaces MAY be registered with a simple review (e.g. check for SPAM) by the designated expert on a first-come-first-served basis.
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.
A SCIM schema URI is defined by completing the following template:
The IANA is requested to populate the "SCIM" registry with the following registries for SCIM schema URIs with pointers to appropriate reference documents. Note: the Schema URI broken into two lines for readability.
| Schema URI | Name | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: core:2.0:User | User Resource | See Section 4.1 |
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: extension:enterprise:2.0:User | Enterprise User Extension | See Section 4.3 |
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: core:2.0:Group | Group Resource | See Section 4.2 |
| Schema URI | Name | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: core:2.0:ServiceProviderConfig | Service Provider Configuration Schema | See Section 5 |
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: core:2.0:ResourceType | Resource Type Config | See Section 6 |
| urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas: core:2.0:Schema | Schema Definitions Schema | See Section 7 |
