What is SCIM?

Meaning: SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management)

Purpose: SCIM allows organisations to provision Managed Apple IDs immediately and to combine Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager properties (such as SIS username and grade levels for Apple School Manager and roles) over account data imported from Azure AD. When an organisation imports users with SCIM, the account information is added as read-only in Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager until they disconnect from SCIM, in which case the accounts become manual accounts and attributes in these accounts can then be edited. Changes made to accounts in Azure AD sync to Apple School Manager and Apple Business Manager accounts every 20 to 40 minutes.

Taken from Apple: Integrate Apple devices with Azure AD
SCIM Tokens expire xxx days, each Administrator will be notified via e-mail 60 days prior to expiry.\
