| 15 | +## How do I disable SCIM? |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +To disable SCIM provisioning while keeping SAML on: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} |
| 20 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.settings-tab %} |
| 21 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.security-tab %} |
| 22 | +4. Deselect **Enable SCIM configuration**. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +When this happens, users will still be able to use SAML single sign-on through your identity provider, but SCIM provisioning will no longer work. Instead, SAML JIT provisioning will be used again. For more information on SAML provisioning, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/managing-iam/using-saml-for-enterprise-iam/configuring-saml-single-sign-on-for-your-enterprise). |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +If for some reason you no longer have access to your instance, you will need to sign in to the management console and enable built-in authentication. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/managing-iam/using-built-in-authentication/configuring-built-in-authentication#configuring-built-in-authentication). Once this is complete, you can sign in to your instance with the SCIM setup user you created when enabling SCIM, and uncheck the **Enable SCIM configuration** checkbox described above. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## How else can be SCIM disabled? |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +In addition to directly disabling SCIM provisioning on your instance, SCIM will be disabled if any of the following actions are taken: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* The **SAML** radio button is unselected in the "Authentication" section of the Management Console. |
| 33 | +* The SAML **Issuer** or **Single sign-on URL** field is updated in the "Authentication" section of the Management Console. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## What happens if I disable SCIM? |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +When SCIM is disabled on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +* In your instance's [audit logs](/admin/monitoring-activity-in-your-enterprise/reviewing-audit-logs-for-your-enterprise/audit-log-events-for-your-enterprise), you should expect to see a "business.disable_open_scim" event. |
| 40 | +* All linked SCIM identities and SCIM-provisioned groups will be deleted from the instance. |
| 41 | +* Requests to the SCIM API endpoints on your instance will no longer succeed. |
| 42 | +* All SCIM external identities on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} will be deleted. |
| 43 | +* All user accounts will remain with the same usernames, and they will not be suspended when SCIM is disabled. |
| 44 | +* All of the external groups that were previously provisioned by SCIM will be deleted. |
| 45 | +* All user accounts, including SCIM-provisioned user accounts, will remain on the instance and will not be suspended. |
| 46 | +* Site administrators will be able to manage the lifecycle of SCIM-provisioned users, such as suspension and deletion, from the site admin dashboard. |
| 47 | +* Users will still be able to sign on via SAML, if enabled. |
| 48 | +* The "Suspended Members" page in your enterprise settings will no longer be present. Suspended members can still be seen in the [Site Admin dashboard](/admin/managing-accounts-and-repositories/managing-users-in-your-enterprise/suspending-and-unsuspending-users#viewing-suspended-users-in-the-site-admin-dashboard) |
| 49 | +{%- ifversion scim-for-ghes-ga %} |
| 50 | +* You will be able to see the "SAML authentication" section on the `https://HOSTNAME/users/USER/security` site admin page for users. If any SAML mappings were previously created for users on the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} before SCIM was enabled, it will be possible to once again view and update them in this section. |
