# Supported user and group attributes in IAM Identity Center
<a name="manage-your-identity-source-attribute-use"></a>

 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](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7642).
+ For information about manual and automatic provisioning, see [Provisioning when users come from an external IdP](manage-your-identity-source-idp.md#provisioning-when-external-idp).
+ For information about attribute mapping, see [Attribute mappings between IAM Identity Center and External Identity Providers directory](attributemappingsconcept.md).

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
<a name="user-object-attributes"></a>

All attributes from the SCIM user schema ([https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7643\$1section-8.3](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
<a name="group-object-attributes"></a>

All attributes from the SCIM group schema ([https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7643\$1section-8.4](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).
