# Use SCIM for Access Groups

{% hint style="info" %}
If your organization uses Directories for Access Control, see [Manage Users with Directories](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/users-and-permissions/manage-users-in-your-organization/directories-for-user-group-management) before making changes. It explains how Directories affect where users are managed and what permissions apply.
{% endhint %}

You can use System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) to add users to access groups.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The steps in this article only work once your SCIM users and groups have been provisioned to Verkada Command.

## Add users to access groups

{% hint style="danger" %}
You must create users and assign users to groups in your SCIM provider. The process differs based on your provider, where both Okta ([SAML](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/security/identity-providers/okta) and [SCIM](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/security/identity-providers/okta)) and Microsoft Entra ID ([SAML](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/security/identity-providers/microsoft-entra-id) and [SCIM](https://app.gitbook.com/s/NRq5qDDjsYNxwNzF1bcB/security/identity-providers/microsoft-entra-id)) are supported.

{% step %}
**In Verkada Command, go to All Products > Access.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**On the left panel, click Access Users and Groups.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**At the top, click Groups > Create SCIM Group.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Filter or select the SCIM group you want to automatically create a new access group with the name of your SCIM group.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click Done.**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Your SCIM group has now become an access group. Now, you can assign this group [access levels](https://help.verkada.com/access-control/configuration/door-schedules-and-exceptions/access-level-schedules-and-exceptions) to give users in this group access to doors.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the SCIM provider is unlinked from your Verkada Command organization, all SCIM access groups will be deleted.
