title: SCIM provisioning · Cloudflare Zero Trust docs
description: System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open
  standard protocol that allows identity providers to synchronize user identity
  information with cloud applications and services. After configuring SCIM, user
  identities that you create, edit, or delete in the identity provider are
  automatically updated across all supported applications. This makes it easier
  for IT admins to onboard new users, update their groups and permissions, and
  revoke access in the event of an employee termination or security breach.

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open standard protocol that allows identity providers to synchronize user identity information with cloud applications and services.

Note

This section covers SCIM provisioning for Cloudflare Zero Trust only. To provision access to your Cloudflare account, you will need to set up a distinct [dashboard SSO SCIM integration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/account-security/scim-setup/) in your IdP. You can assign users and groups to this new SCIM application to define who can access the Cloudflare dashboard.

Users provisioned via the [Zero Trust SCIM integration](#sync-users-and-groups-in-zero-trust-policies) will not have access to your Cloudflare dashboard unless you have manually added them to your [Cloudflare dashboard SSO application](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/manage-members/dashboard-sso/).

## Supported identity providers

Cloudflare Access supports SCIM provisioning for all SAML and OIDC identity providers that use SCIM version `2.0`.

## Sync users and groups in Zero Trust policies

Cloudflare Access can automatically deprovision users from Zero Trust after they are deactivated in the identity provider and display synchronized group names in the Access and Gateway policy builders. Cloudflare does not provision new users in Zero Trust when they are added to the identity provider -- users must first register a device with the WARP client or authenticate to an Access application.

To set up SCIM for Zero Trust, refer to our [SSO integration](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/) guides.
