SCIM API

Preview

Databricks supports SCIM, or System for Cross-domain Identity Management, an open standard that allows you to automate user provisioning using a REST API and JSON. The Databricks SCIM API follows version 2.0 of the SCIM protocol.

Requirements

Your Databricks account must have the Premium plan (or, for customers who subscribed to Databricks before March 3, 2020, the Operational Security package).
To provision and manage service principals, your Databricks workspace must be on the E2 version of the Databricks platform. For information about creating E2 workspaces, see Create and manage workspaces using the account console. All new Databricks accounts and most existing accounts are now E2. If you are not sure which account type you have, contact your Databricks representative.

SCIM APIs

A Databricks workspace administrator can invoke all SCIM API endpoints:

Non-admin users and service principals can invoke the Me Get endpoint, the Users Get endpoint to display names and IDs, and the Group Get endpoint to display group display names and IDs.

Call workspace SCIM APIs

For workspace SCIM APIs workspaces, for the examples, replace <databricks-instance> with the workspace URL of your Databricks deployment.

https://<databricks-instance>/api/2.0/preview/scim/v2/<api-endpoint>

Header parameters

Parameter Type Description

Authorization (required)

STRING

Set to Bearer <access-token>.

See Authentication using Databricks personal access tokens to learn how to generate tokens using the UI and Token API to learn how to generate tokens using the API.

Important! The Databricks admin user who generates this token should not be managed by your identity provider (IdP). A Databricks admin user who is managed by the IdP can be deprovisioned using the IdP, which would cause your SCIM provisioning integration to be disabled.

Content-Type (required for write operations) STRING Set to application/scim+json.

Accept (required for read operations) STRING Set to application/scim+json.

Account SCIM APIs

The SCIM API (Account admins) is available only to account admins.

You call the account-level SCIM API on the accounts.cloud.databricks.com domain, not your workspace domain. For example:

https://accounts.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/accounts/{account_id}/scim/v2/Users/{user_id}

Use your account owner or account admin username and password with HTTP Basic authentication.

Filter results

Use filters to return a subset of users or groups. For all users, the user userName and group displayName fields are supported. Admin users can filter users on the active attribute.

Operator	Description	Behavior
eq	equals	Attribute and operator values must be identical.
ne	not equal to	Attribute and operator values are not identical.
co	contains	Operator value must be a substring of attribute value.
sw	starts with	Attribute must start with and contain operator value.
and	logical AND	Match when all expressions evaluate to true.
or	logical OR	Match when any expression evaluates to true.

Sort results

Sort results using the sortBy and sortOrder query parameters. The default is to sort by ID.
