Overview
This page describes how instance and organization admins use the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) API to automate identity management in W&B. With the SCIM API, you can provision and deprovision users, manage team membership, and define custom roles programmatically through an identity provider or CI/CD pipeline instead of clicking through the W&B App. SCIM groups map to W&B Teams. W&B’s SCIM API is compatible with identity providers such as Okta. For SSO configuration with Okta and other identity providers, see the SSO documentation. For practical Python examples that demonstrate how to interact with the SCIM API, visit thewandb-scim repository.
Supported features
The SCIM API supports the following features:- Filtering: The API supports filtering for
/Usersand/Groupsendpoints. - PATCH operations: Supports
PATCHfor partial resource updates. - ETag support: Conditional updates using ETags for conflict detection.
- Service account authentication: Organization service accounts can access the API.
- Service account lifecycle: Provision and deprovision team-scoped and organization-scoped service accounts. Supported on Multi-tenant Cloud and on Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed v0.81.0+.
If you’re an admin of multiple Enterprise Multi-tenant Cloud organizations, configure the organization that receives SCIM API requests so that requests made with your API key affect the correct organization. Click your profile image, click User Settings, then check the Default API organization setting.The chosen hosting option determines the value for the
[HOST-URL] placeholder used in the examples on this page.Examples use user IDs such as abc and def. Real requests and responses use hashed values for user IDs.Authentication
Every SCIM request must be authenticated as an admin principal. Organization admins can authenticate with a Bearer token or HTTP Basic credentials. Either style uses the same API key string where a key applies. Choose a user identity or an organization-scoped service account after reviewing the key differences in the following section.Key differences
The following list compares user credentials and service account credentials for SCIM authentication:- Who should use it: Users are best for interactive, one-off admin actions. Service accounts are best for automation and integrations (CI/CD, provisioning tools).
- Credentials: Users send username and API key for Basic auth. Service accounts send only an API key (no username) for Basic auth. For Bearer auth, send only the API key in the header (no username).
- Bearer versus Basic: Bearer uses
Authorization: Bearer [API-KEY]with the key verbatim. Basic usesAuthorization: Basic <base64(...)>(users encodeusername:API-KEY, and service accounts encode:API-KEYwith a leading colon and empty username). - Scope and permissions: Use an API key from an instance or organization admin user, or from an organization-scoped service account. Keys from team-scoped service accounts can’t authenticate to the SCIM API. Service accounts that use SCIM are organization-scoped and headless, which supports clearer audit trails for automation.
- Where to get credentials: Users copy their API key from User Settings. Organization-scoped service account keys are in the organization dashboard under the Service account tab.
- Multi-tenant Cloud: If you have access to more than one Multi-tenant Cloud organization, you must set the Default API organization to ensure that SCIM API calls are routed to the intended organization.
Bearer token
Send the API key as a Bearer token:[API-KEY] value is the same string you’d use as the password in HTTP Basic authentication for that principal. Don’t Base64-encode the key for Bearer requests.
Bearer authentication for the SCIM API is available in W&B Multi-tenant Cloud, and in Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed v0.79.0 and later.
[API-KEY] as a placeholder. Replace it with a real key from an admin user or an organization-scoped service account.
List users
Users
Use your personal admin credentials when you perform interactive admin tasks. Construct the HTTPAuthorization header as Basic <base64(username:API-KEY)>.
For example, authorize as demo:p@55w0rd:
Service accounts
Use an organization-scoped service account for automation or integrations. Construct the HTTPAuthorization header as Basic <base64(:API-KEY)> (note the leading colon and empty username). Find service account API keys in the organization dashboard under the Service account tab. Refer to Organization-scoped service accounts.
For example, authorize with API key sa-p@55w0rd:
User management
The SCIM user resource maps to W&B users and service accounts. Use the endpoints in this section to provision, update, and remove users and service accounts in your organization, for example, when you onboard new employees, rotate service credentials, or remove access for departing users. For service account concepts and UI workflows, see Use service accounts to automate workflows.Breaking change for integrations that parse SCIM User JSON
- In Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed v0.80.1+, and in Multi-tenant Cloud deployments after April 30, 2026, responses from
/scim/Users(includingGETuser,GETusers, andPATCHresponses that return a User) serializeemailsas a JSON array of objects using lowercase field names (value,primary, and optionaltypeordisplay), matching SCIM 2.0. - Deployments on older releases return
emailsas a single JSON object with PascalCase keys (Value,Primary, and similar).
emails from SCIM responses, treat emails as an array and read the primary entry (or the first element).Request bodies for creating or updating users already used the array form and are unchanged. The list-users filter emails.value eq "..." is also unchanged.Get user
Retrieves information for a specific user or service account in your organization by user ID, or for a user by email address. Service account responses includeaccountType (SERVICE for team-scoped service accounts, ORG_SERVICE for organization-scoped service accounts). Service accounts don’t include emails.

Group resource
The SCIM group resource maps to a W&B Team. Use the endpoints in this section to create teams, manage team membership, and (optionally) configure team-level storage from your identity provider or automation. When you create a SCIM group in your IAM, it creates and maps to a W&B Team, and other SCIM group operations act on the team. To configure custom storage during team creation, includestorageBucket in the request.
Service accounts
When you create a W&B Team using SCIM, all organization-level service accounts are automatically added to the team, to maintain the service account’s access to team resources.Filter groups
The/Groups endpoint supports filtering to search for specific teams.
Supported filters
The/Groups endpoint supports the following filter:
displayName eq "value": Filter by team display name.

Advanced features
The following sections describe optional capabilities (ETag-based concurrency control and standard error responses) that help SCIM integrations behave safely in production.ETag support
The SCIM API supports ETags for conditional updates to prevent concurrent modification conflicts. This matters when multiple admins or automated systems update the same resource, because it ensures that one update doesn’t silently overwrite another. ETags are returned in theETag response header and the meta.version field.
ETags
To use ETags, follow these steps:- Get current ETag: When you GET a resource, note the ETag header in the response.
- Conditional update: Include the ETag in the
If-Matchheader when updating.
Example
412 Precondition Failed error response indicates that the resource has been modified since you retrieved it.
Error handling
The SCIM API returns standard SCIM error responses:| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
200 | Success |
201 | Created |
204 | No Content (successful deletion) |
400 | Bad Request: invalid parameters or request body |
401 | Unauthorized: authentication failed |
403 | Forbidden: insufficient permissions |
404 | Not Found: resource doesn’t exist |
409 | Conflict: resource already exists |
412 | Precondition Failed: ETag mismatch |
500 | Internal Server Error |
Implementation differences per deployment type
W&B maintains two separate SCIM API implementations, and the features differ between them. Review the following table before you integrate with SCIM to confirm that the operations you rely on are available on your deployment type.| Feature | Multi-tenant Cloud | Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed |
|---|---|---|
| Update user email | - | ✓ |
| Update user display name | - | ✓ |
| User deactivation | ✓ | ✓ |
| User reactivation | - | ✓ |
| Multiple emails per user | ✓ | - |
Set modelsSeat on create/update | ✓ | ✓ |
Set weaveRole on create/update | ✓ | ✓ |
Limitations
Keep the following constraints in mind when you design SCIM integrations:- Maximum results: 9,999 items per request.
- Dedicated Cloud and Self-Managed: Only support one email per user.
- Team deletion: Not supported through SCIM (use the W&B web interface).
- User reactivation: Not supported in Multi-tenant Cloud environments.
- Seat limits: Operations may fail if organization seat limits are reached.
