IGA and PAM are two technologies that historically have been siloed, with IGA focused on identity governance and administration and PAM focused on controlling access to privileged accounts. SCIM (System for Cross-Domain Identity Management) provides a standardized API and data model to integrate IGA and PAM by allowing user and group information to be shared between the systems. The SCIM PAM extension further augments SCIM to define concepts for managing privileged data and access control between IGA and PAM, joining these two important security domains.
