  description: >-
    The Contentstack SCIM API implements the System for Cross-domain Identity
    Management (SCIM 2.0) standard to enable automated user lifecycle management
    within a Contentstack organization. It allows Identity Providers (IdPs) to
    provision and deprovision users, manage group memberships, and synchronize
    user attributes between the IdP and Contentstack. This API is primarily used
    by enterprise organizations that manage Contentstack access through
    centralized identity management platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, or
    OneLogin. Group mappings in Contentstack allow IdP-managed groups to control
    role-based access within the CMS.
