# SCIM API (SYSTEM ONLY) **(SILVER ONLY)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/9388) in [GitLab.com Silver](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.10.
The SCIM API implements the [RFC7644 protocol](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644). As this API is for
**system** use for SCIM provider integration, it is subject to change without notice.
To use this API, [Group SSO](../user/group/saml_sso/index.md) must be enabled for the group.
This API is only in use where [SCIM for Group SSO](../user/group/saml_sso/scim_setup.md) is enabled. It's a prerequisite to the creation of SCIM identities.
## Get a list of SAML users
This endpoint is used as part of the SCIM syncing mechanism. It only returns
a single user based on a unique ID which should match the `extern_uid` of the user.
```plaintext
GET /api/scim/v2/groups/:group_path/Users
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
|:----------|:--------|:---------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `filter` | string | no | A [filter](#available-filters) expression. |
| `group_path` | string | yes | Full path to the group. |
| `startIndex` | integer | no | The 1-based index indicating where to start returning results from. A value of less than one will be interpreted as 1. |
| `count` | integer | no | Desired maximum number of query results. |
NOTE:
Pagination follows the [SCIM spec](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.4.2.4) rather than GitLab pagination as used elsewhere. If records change between requests it is possible for a page to either be missing records that have moved to a different page or repeat records from a previous request.
Example request:
```shell
curl "https://gitlab.example.com/api/scim/v2/groups/test_group/Users?filter=id%20eq%20%220b1d561c-21ff-4092-beab-8154b17f82f2%22" --header "Authorization: Bearer <your_scim_token>" --header "Content-Type: application/scim+json"

## Get a single SAML user

```
Example response:
```json
{
