Use Cases

Use cases demonstrate how to get things done with REST APIs, including how to create and update records, and more. Use them to understand quickly how REST APIs can meet your business needs.

To get the most benefit from the following use cases, you should be familiar with basic REST concepts discussed in the Quick Start.

The following table lists the most common use cases to support your integration requirements using users and roles SCIM resources.

To access the SCIM REST resources, your job role must have the ASE_REST_SERVICE_ACCESS_IDENTITY_INTEGRATION_PRIV entitlement. This entitlement is granted to the ORA_FND_IT_SECURITY_MANAGER_JOB job role by IT_SECURITY_MGR user. If your user account doesn't have the required role, you can't access the methods associated with the SCIM REST resources. Contact your security administrator for assistance.
