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.
-
For information about the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) specification, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7642
. -
For information about manual and automatic provisioning, see Provisioning when users come from an external IdP.
-
For information about attribute mapping, see Attribute mappings between IAM Identity Center and External Identity Providers directory.
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.
