# 2026-05-31 New feature: new authorization for the SCIM webservice

### The new feature

<p class="callout info">From now on, all **users** used to access the **SCIM webservice** will **require** the new "**webservice:user**" authorisation.</p>

### Bear in mind

Please note the following points:

- Users with the **SOFFID\_ADMIN** role **already have** this authorisation inherited by inheritance.
- <span style="text-decoration: underline;">After updating Soffid</span>, you will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">need to grant this authorisation</span> to users who are not administrators and who are already using the SCIM web service.

### How to configure it?

The following **components** must be installed:

- Console 4.0.58 (or higher)

### Let's look at an example

For this example, we will be using the Bruno application; for further information, please see this page [Testing ](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/scim/page/testing-tool "Testing Tool")[Tool](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/scim/page/testing-tool "Testing Tool").

First, let’s check that the "**Test**" user we were using in the SCIM web service <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no longer has access</span>, see the "**401 Unauthorized**" error.

On the **Roles page**, we are going to create a new role, "**SOFFID\_SCIM**", and then assign the new authorisation to it.

On the **Authorisations page**, we assign the new authorisation "**webservice:user**" to it.

The final step is to **grant** the **SOFFID\_SCIM** role to the **user**.

Now, when we query the web service, it returns results.
