Supported user and group attributes in IAM Identity Center

This guide provides a reference for SCIM attribute support in IAM Identity Center. It lists which user and group attributes from the SCIM specification are supported in the IAM Identity Center identity store, and identifies specific attributes and sub-attributes that aren't supported.

Attributes are pieces of information that help you define and identify individual user or group objects, such as name, email, or members. IAM Identity Center supports most commonly used attributes through both manual entry and automatic SCIM provisioning.

Because IAM Identity Center supports SCIM for automatic provisioning use cases, the Identity Center directory supports all of the same user and group attributes that are listed in the SCIM specification, with a few exceptions. The following sections describe which attributes aren't supported by IAM Identity Center.

User objects not supported

All attributes from the SCIM user schema (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7643#section-8.3) are supported in the IAM Identity Center identity store, except for the following:

  • password

  • ims

  • photos

  • entitlements

  • x509Certificates

All sub-attributes for users are supported, except for the following:

  • 'display' sub-attribute of any multi-valued attribute (For example, emails or phoneNumbers)

  • 'version' sub-attribute of 'meta' attribute

Group objects not supported

All attributes from the SCIM group schema (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7643#section-8.4) are supported.

All sub-attributes for groups are supported, except for the following:

  • 'display' sub-attribute of any multi-valued attribute (For example, members).
