# SCIM

The SCIM connector for Elimity Insights fetches users and groups from a SCIM server so you can keep in control of your environment. Follow the instructions below to set up the connector for your environment.

## 1. Creating a dedicated read-only user

As usual, we recommend creating a dedicated read-only user for this connector. Exact instructions depend on the software serving the SCIM API, but in general this connector only requires read access to users and groups. We also recommend generating a secure password for this new user. Note down both the username and password for later use. Alternatively you can also generate a bearer token with similar permissions.

## 2. Creating a source in Elimity Insights

In Elimity Insights you can now create a new SCIM source providing the following configuration options:

<table data-full-width="true"><thead><tr><th>Configuration option</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Base URL</td><td>URL of your SCIM server (e.g. <code>https://api.slack.com/scim/v2</code>).</td></tr><tr><td>Username</td><td>The username you noted down in step 1, or leave empty if you want to authenticate with a bearer token.</td></tr><tr><td>Password</td><td>The password or bearer token you generated in step 1.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.elimity.com/reference-manual/v3.44.2/built-in-connectors/scim.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
