SCIM - Sync Users and Groups with Databricks

System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) is an open standard protocol for automating the exchange of user identity information between identity domains and IT systems. SCIM ensures that employees added to your teams automatically have accounts created via Microsoft Entra ID / Active Directory in the data environment. User attributes and profiles are synchronized between your directory and the data plane, allowing users to be linked into groups in Databricks, as well as adding and removing users based on Entry group membership.

You should provision identities to your Databricks workspace using Microsoft Entra ID before wide production use. Please see the Databricks guide on SCIM provisioning to learn how.
