User Management Service
API Driven User Management
The User Management Service offers a standardized way to manage users and simplifies access to legacy data sources. You can integrate with any user repository or database, allowing developers to work with JSON over REST, instead of SQL queries and LDAP operations.
One API to Manage all Users
Managing users is a headache for many organizations, with multiple data sources to consider and keep up to date. Your users may be stored in some old SQL server, or LDAP repository, or maybe a combination of many.
Curity’s User Management service is OAuth protected and expose a single standardized CRUD API that your applications and services can interact with, removing the pain of disparate user repositories.

Examples and Use Cases
Facilitates simplified and standardized user management using one single API that integrates with multiple data sources.
Bulk Migration
POST
The standardized API allows you for creating new users in bulk. This greatly simplifies the process of migrating users, removing the need create non-standard tooling.
Customer Support Tool Integration
PATCH
Curity’s service provides an interface existing support tools can use to modify users as part of the support process. This allows staff to search for users and update their information in one place.
Self Service Integration
PATCH
The User Management Service can also be used to empower a user to modify their own details. This is commonly done via an integration to a "my pages application" or similar.

OAuth Protected
Using the Curity OAuth server, your user management APIs are protected from the start. It can be configured with fine-grained authorization, allowing different users and applications access to different operations and user-data. This facilitates streamlined integration with existing customer support systems and user portals.
User CRUD over the SCIM standard
User CRUD (Create Read Update Delete) is needed everywhere. The Customer service application needs to update users, other applications may need to read attributes about users, and batch services need to sync users between domains.
With Curity Identity Server user CRUD has never been easier. Using SCIM 2.0 there is a standard REST API for all of these operations making the development process a whole lot easier.
Manage Active Devices
Using the User Management Service, you can view, list and manage the active sessions and devices for a user with a single API. Sessions can be revoked when needed, and you can let the user view its own session or allow an admin to view the user's sessions. This significantly simplifies the development and maintenance of user management applications and services.
Databases and Repositories
