# Release v2.3.0- September, 2024

**Overview:** 

Skillmine Auth is now equipped with SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) API support. This update simplifies and automates user and group management for organizations integrating with external identity providers. 

**Key Highlights of the SCIM:** 

* SCIM API Integration: Full compliance with SCIM 2.0 specification (RFC 7644) for seamless user and group provisioning. 
* User Lifecycle Management: Ability to create, modify, retrieve, and delete users via SCIM API. 
* Group Management: Full support for group creation, modification, and group and member management. 
* Bulk Upload Operation: Added support for bulk user and group operations, allowing administrators to provision or update large sets of users and groups in a single API call.  
* PATCH Operation Support: Implemented PATCH operations for partial updates to both users and groups. Efficiently update specific attributes without needing to send the entire resource payload, improving performance and flexibility in user management. 
* SCIM Discovery: Skillmine Auth implements SCIM discovery endpoints, allowing client applications to retrieve metadata about supported resources. 
* Enhanced Security: SCIM endpoints are secured with OAuth 2.0 tokens, ensuring safe and secure communication between Skillmine Auth and identity providers.
