What is the SCIM API?

Welcome to the SailPoint File Access Manager API. This API provides access to the File Access Manager platform. The API is standards-based, built upon the RESTful SCIM 2.0 specification. You can use this API to access File Access Manager API endpoints, which allow you to programmatically interact with objects within the File Access Manager.

SCIM Protocol

SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management), is an HTTP-based protocol that makes managing identities in multi-domain scenarios easier to support through a standardized RESTful API service. It provides a platform neutral schema and extension model for representing users, groups and other resource types in JSON format.

We implement SCIM with the following restrictions:

Filter operators

Currently we only support the "and" logical operator between filter expressions ("or" is not supported)

Filter special characters

If filter expression values include the reserved URL characters " '$-_.+!*'(),' ", they need to be changed to their encoded value

Sorting

Currently we do not support SCIM Sorting capabilities (SortBy and SortOrder). Each method implements its own sorting by default.
