    The Plerion SCIM 2.0 provisioning API lets an identity provider, a
    script, or any other client create, update, deactivate, and delete users
    in a Plerion organization, and keep its groups in sync as Plerion user
    groups. It follows RFC 7643 (schema) and RFC 7644 (protocol), so any
    SCIM 2.0 client can use it.

    SCIM does not have to be enabled on your single sign-on settings, and
    the organization does not need a SAML connection. The API reads and
    writes every user and every user group in the organization, whoever
    created them.

    A record maintained outside Plerion, by an identity provider sync or
    by calls to this API, is badged SCIM managed in the Plerion console.
    The badge is a marker, not a lock. Do not manage the
    same record from both an identity provider sync and by hand: the next
    sync can overwrite what you wrote.

    SCIM carries users and groups, not roles. Roles are granted in the
    Plerion console, to a user directly or to a user group. A user's
    effective permissions are the union of both.

    Requests are authenticated with a Plerion organization API key sent as
    a bearer token. The organization is resolved from the key, so no request
    names an organization. Write operations need a key with the readWrite
    access level.

    The Plerion console shows the exact SCIM base URL for your organization
    in the SCIM provisioning section of your single sign-on settings. Paste
    that value into your identity provider rather than assembling it by
    hand. For setup instructions, see the SCIM provisioning guides.
