# Configure SCIM with Entra ID

{{< admonition type="note" >}}
Available in [Grafana Enterprise](/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/introduction/grafana-enterprise/) and [Grafana Cloud](/docs/grafana-cloud/).
{{< /admonition >}}

This guide explains how to configure SCIM provisioning with Entra ID to automate user and team management in Grafana.

{{< admonition type="note" >}}
**Important SAML and SCIM Configuration:**
When using SAML for authentication alongside SCIM provisioning with Entra ID, it is crucial to correctly align user identifiers.
For detailed information on why this is critical for security and how to configure it, refer to the main [SCIM provisioning documentation](../).

Refer to the [SAML authentication with Entra ID documentation](../../configure-authentication/saml/configure-saml-with-azuread/) for specific instructions on how to configure SAML claims and Grafana SAML settings for your Entra ID SCIM setup.

## Prerequisites

Before configuring SCIM with Entra ID, ensure you have:

- Grafana Enterprise or a paid Grafana Cloud account with SCIM provisioning enabled.
- Admin access to both Grafana and Entra ID
- SCIM feature enabled in Grafana

## Configure SCIM in Grafana

To enable SCIM provisioning in Grafana, create a service account and generate a service account token that will be used to authenticate SCIM requests from Entra ID.

### Create a service account

1. Navigate to **Administration > Users and access > Service accounts**
2. Click **Add service account**
3. Create a new service account with **Role: "None"**
4. In the service account **Permissions** tab, add these permissions:

   **Allow the service account to sync users:**
   - `org.users:read`
   - `org.users:write`
   - `org.users:add`
   - `org.users:remove`

   **Allow the service account to sync groups:**
   - `teams:read`
   - `teams:create`
   - `teams:write`
   - `teams:delete`

5. Create a new token for the newly created service account and save it securely
   - This token will be used in the Entra ID configuration

## Configure SCIM in Entra ID

Configure the enterprise application in Entra ID to enable automated user and team synchronization with Grafana. This involves creating a new application and setting up both authentication and provisioning.

### Create the enterprise application

1. Open Azure Portal Entra ID (Entra ID)
2. Click **+ Add** dropdown
3. Click **Add Enterprise Application**
4. Click **+ Create Your Own Application**
5. Name the application and select **non-gallery**

### Configure provisioning

1. In the application overview, select **Provisioning**
2. Click **+ New Configuration**
3. Configure the following settings:

- **Tenant URL:**

  You can copy the tenant URL directly from the SCIM UI at **Administration > Authentication > SCIM**. Your stack domain and stack ID can also be found in the SCIM UI.

  Alternatively, you can construct the URL manually:
  - For Grafana Cloud instances:
    ```
    https://{stack-name}.grafana.net/apis/scim.grafana.app/v0alpha1/namespaces/stacks-{stack-id}
    ```
    Replace `{stack-name}` and `{stack-id}` with your Grafana Cloud stack name and ID.
  - For self-hosted instances:
    ```
    https://{your-grafana-domain}/apis/scim.grafana.app/v0alpha1/namespaces/default
    ```
    Replace `{your-grafana-domain}` with your Grafana instance's domain (e.g., `grafana.yourcompany.com`).

- **Secret Token:** Enter the service account token from Grafana

4. Click **Test connection** to verify the configuration
5. Click **Create** to save the settings

### Configure attribute mappings

After setting the Tenant URL and Secret Token, navigate to the **Mappings** section within the same **Provisioning** settings in your Entra ID enterprise application and then click **Provision Microsoft Entra ID Users**. This is where you will define how Entra ID attributes correspond to the SCIM attributes for Grafana, including the mandatory `externalId`.

{{< admonition type="note" >}}

- Only work email addresses are supported. Entra ID must be configured to use `emails[type eq "work"].value` for email mapping.
- The `externalId` attribute in Grafana is mandatory. Entra ID uses this to uniquely identify users and groups. You must map an attribute from Entra ID to the `externalId` attribute in Grafana. This Entra ID attribute must be **a stable and a unique identifier for each individual user** (for example, the `objectId` attribute in Entra ID is commonly used for this purpose).

{{< /admonition >}}

Configure the following required attributes:

| Entra ID Attribute                                            | Grafana Attribute              |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| `userPrincipalName`                                           | `userName`                     |
| `mail`                                                        | `emails[type eq "work"].value` |
| `displayName`                                                 | `displayName`                  |
| `objectId`                                                    | `externalId`                   |
| `Switch([IsSoftDeleted], , "False", "True", "True", "False")` | `active`                       |

{{< admonition type="note" >}}
During provisioning, if the identity provider sends user attributes that has no use in Grafana, those attributes will be gracefully ignored.

### Enable provisioning

Click **Start provisioning** from the top action bar in the **Overview** page from your Entra ID enterprise application.

### Configure group provisioning

To enable group synchronization:

1. Navigate to the **Groups** tab in provisioning
2. Enable **Group provisioning**
3. Select the groups to synchronize with Grafana
4. Save the changes

## Test the integration

After completing the configuration:

1. Test the SCIM connector in Entra ID
2. Assign a test user to the application
3. Verify the user is provisioned in Grafana
4. Test group synchronization if configured
