Learn how to configure SCIM mapping to provision user reference input type for profile fields.
In this article, you will learn how to configure System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) mapping, using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory / Azure AD) as the identity provider (IdP), to configure mapping to provision user reference input type as a profile field.
This article shows Microsoft Entra ID as the IdP to configure SCIM. The same is applicable for managing SCIM using other IdPs. Learn more about other supported IdPs.
