Organization REST API

The Organization endpoint allows managing your organization's structure.

In ActivID Appliance, an organization resource represents a Security Domain A specific data instance in the ActivID Appliance database. It provides a complete segregation of data for different business units within a single deployment..

In the federation use case, one tenant (federating) can perform operations defined by the scope of permissions in the other tenant (federated). The federating tenant uses the organizationDelegation attributes of the SCIM API when creating a federated tenant.

See also the Create an Organization Adapter tutorial.

Note: The API version supported by ActivID Appliance 8.6 is 3.0.

To use the version-specific parameters/attributes, you must add api-version=N to the query parameter.

Previous versions of the API are also supported with the corresponding functionality.

Replace an Organization

The implementation is the same as for Create an Organization:

externalId is required.
An organizationDelegation can be specified.
An organizationBranding can be specified.

Also, the uid in the URL must match the id in the request body.

Note: As a best practice, use GET to retrieve the current data for the resource before using PUT.

Copy

PUT /scim/{tenant}/v2/Organization/{uid}
 
{
   "schemas": ["urn:hid:scim:api:idp:2.0:Organization"],
   "id": "{uid}",
 
...
 
}

Search for an Organization

Supported search criteria are:

SCIM Attribute	Operators supported

Note:

If you are using the provided organization adapter sample, search organization will always return the sample response above.
If you enable DEBUG server logs and if you are using the provided organization adapter sample, filters value are logged in the following order:
- externalid
- id
- type
- param name - param value

For example, the sample request above will log:
