SCIM API (SYSTEM ONLY) (PREMIUM SAAS)

Introduced in GitLab 11.10.

The SCIM API implements the RFC7644 protocol. As this API is for system use for SCIM provider integration, it is subject to change without notice.

To use this API, Group SSO must be enabled for the group. This API is only in use where SCIM for Group SSO is enabled. It's a prerequisite to the creation of SCIM identities.

Get a list of SCIM provisioned users

This endpoint is used as part of the SCIM syncing mechanism. 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: 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%220b1d561c-21ff-4092-beab-8154b17f82f2%22" \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer <your_scim_token>" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/scim+json"
