'''System for Cross-___domain Identity Management''' ('''SCIM''') is a standard for automating the exchange of user identity information between identity domains, or IT systems.
One example might be that as a company onboards new employees and separates from existing employees, they are added and removed from the company's electronic employee [[Directory service|directory]]. SCIM could be used to automatically add/delete (or, [[account provisioning|provision/de-provision]]) accounts for those users in external systems such as [[Google Workspace]], [[
In addition to simple user-record management (creating and deleting), SCIM can also be used to share information about user attributes, attribute schema, and group membership. Attributes could range from user contact information to group membership. Group membership or other attribute values are generally used to manage user permissions. Attribute values and group assignments can change, adding to the challenge of maintaining the relevant data across multiple identity domains.<ref name="SCIM-19">{{cite book |author = Internet Engineering Task Force, Network Working Group|title = System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema|version = Draft 19|date = May 11, 2015|url = http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-19|accessdate = 2015-05-17}}</ref>
