SCIM user responses now include a profileUrl attribute

By Steven Van ·

GitHub SCIM /Users responses now return a profileUrl field with the linked account's GitHub URL, when one exists.

SCIM responses for GitHub organization and enterprise users now include a profileUrl attribute, the standard field defined by RFC 7643, giving the absolute URL of the GitHub account linked to the external identity. Previously, matching a SCIM record to a GitHub account required extra lookups or inference; identity providers and IT teams can now read profileUrl directly from the /Users endpoint. The field is omitted when an external identity isn't yet linked to a GitHub user. Existing userName and other attributes are unchanged, so current SCIM, GraphQL, and identity management integrations aren't affected, and no action is required to adopt it.
