📣 SCIM support

We've added SCIM as another method of syncing user data and access with an identity provider.

 📣 SCIM is now available to all customers

SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is the best system for managing members' identities and subscriptions. It is a standard supported by many identity providers, such as Microsoft and Okta. It provides a similar function to the 5app User Importer while being easier to set up with existing cloud services (no code), more automated, and operating closer to real-time.
