Earlier this year we expanded our System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) capabilities to include provisioning new Cloudsmith users. By integrating Cloudsmith with your identity provider (IdP) via SCIM, you can automate user provisioning and de-provisioning, allowing your IdP to serve as the single point for managing user access. This feature has been in Early Access and is now generally available for all Cloudsmith customers on an Ultra plan.

SAML is primarily used for single sign-on (SSO) authentication between applications and systems. SAML enables users to log in once to a single system, proving they are who they say they are, and then access multiple other systems without having to log in again.
Where SCIM differs is that it is API-based, not login-based. When changes to identities are made in the IdP, including create, update, and delete, they are automatically synced to the service providers (like Cloudsmith) according to the SCIM protocol. For end users, this means that they have seamless access to applications for which they’re assigned, with up-to-date profiles and permissions.protocol.
