SCIM API (SILVER ONLY)

Introduced in GitLab Silver 11.10.

The SCIM API implements the RFC7644 protocol.

CAUTION: Caution: This API is for internal system use for connecting with a SCIM provider. While it can be used directly, it is subject to change without notice.

NOTE: Note: Group SSO must be enabled for the group. For more information, see SCIM setup documentation.

Get a list of SAML users

NOTE: Note: This endpoint is used as part of the SCIM syncing mechanism and it only returns a single user based on a unique ID which should match the extern_uid of the user.

GET /api/scim/v2/groups/:group_path/Users

Parameters:

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
filter	string	no	A filter expression.
group_path	string	yes	Full path to the group.
startIndex	integer	no	The 1-based index indicating where to start returning results from. A value of less than one will be interpreted as 1.
count	integer	no	Desired maximum number of query results.

NOTE: Note: Pagination follows the SCIM spec rather than GitLab pagination as used elsewhere. If records change between requests it is possible for a page to either be missing records that have moved to a different page or repeat records from a previous request.

Example request:

curl 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/scim/v2/groups/test_group/Users?filter=id%20eq%20"0b1d561c-21ff-4092-beab-8154b17f82f2"' --header "Authorization: Bearer <your_scim_token>" --header "Content-Type: application/scim+json"
