IT Experts wrote a new post: Microsoft Entra SCIM 2.0: Now with bidirectional provisioning
Tue, Apr 14 2026
Microsoft introduced new SCIM 2.0 APIs for Microsoft Entra. The APIs now support bidirectional provisioning, which allows external identity systems to provision users and groups directly into Entra. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is an open internet standard that defines a common HTTP-based protocol for managing user accounts across different systems. Previously, Entra could only push user data to other applications via SCIM. Now, it also accepts incoming SCIM requests. The APIs follow a consumption-based pricing model, require an Azure subscription, and are generally available in the Microsoft public cloud.
