A SCIM group is a group that your identity provider pushes into LangWatch. You assign roles to the group at the organization, team or project scope, and every member of the group receives those roles. The API calls these assignments role bindings. > [!NOTE] > > Groups are an **Enterprise** feature, whether they come from SCIM or are created by hand. Set up > [SCIM Provisioning](https://langwatch.ai/docs/platform/scim.md) for users first. *** ## How it works 1. Your identity provider pushes groups to the SCIM `/Groups` endpoint 2. The groups appear at **Settings > Users > Groups** 3. You bind roles to each group, for example Member on the Engineering team 4. A user added to the group in the identity provider holds every binding of the group 5. A user removed from the group, or deprovisioned, loses them *** ## View groups ![The Directory Groups tab and the action to add a manual group](https://mintcdn.com/langwatch/trhmk6UoMcYE0dx4/images/access/groups-light.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=trhmk6UoMcYE0dx4\&q=85\&s=540ae8887aef04fe33b4865d82c4161f) **Settings > Users > Groups** lists every group. Each row shows: | Column | Description | | - | - | | **Group** | The group name from the identity provider | | **Source** | `SCIM` for a pushed group, `Manual` for a group created in LangWatch | | **Access** | The role bindings of the group | | **Members** | The number of users in the group | Click a row to open the group dialog, where you manage the bindings and, for manual groups, the members. *** ## Bind roles to a group Open a group. In the **Access granted** section: 1. Select a **role** (Admin, Member, Viewer, or a custom role) 2. Select the **scope**: Organization, Team, or Project 3. Select the team or the project for a Team or Project scope 4. Click **Add**, then **Save**. The binding is written when you save A group can hold several bindings, for example Member on the organization plus Admin on the Platform team. ### Binding scopes | Scope | What it grants | | - | - | | **Organization** | The role on every team and project in the organization | | **Team** | The role on one team and all its projects | | **Project** | The role on one project | *** ## How bindings add up A user in several groups holds every binding of every group, plus the bindings set on the user directly at **Settings > Users > People**. Permissions add up: a request is allowed when any binding on the project, its team or the organization grants it, and no binding removes what another one grants. For example, a user in Group A (Member on the Engineering team) and Group B (Admin on the Engineering team) holds both, and can do everything an Admin can on that team. **Also check:** [Access Control (RBAC)](https://langwatch.ai/docs/platform/rbac.md) for how a request is authorized. *** ## User lifecycle with groups ### When a user is added to a group The user holds every binding of the group at once. Group membership never creates a user: a member id that is not yet in your organization is skipped, so provision the user through `/Users` first (see [User Provisioning](https://langwatch.ai/docs/platform/scim.md#provisioning-create)). ### When a user is removed from a group The group's bindings no longer apply to the user. With no other binding, the user stays in the organization and sees no team or project. ### When a group is deleted LangWatch removes the group, its memberships and its role bindings. ### When a user is deprovisioned (DELETE) Both `DELETE` and `PATCH active: false` remove the person's organization membership and role assignments, deactivate their account, and revoke browser sessions and CLI tokens. Their data stays. Restoring the account does not restore access assigned by hand; the directory must assert membership and mapped access again. See [SCIM provisioning](https://langwatch.ai/docs/platform/scim.md#user-lifecycle). *** ## Manual groups You can also create groups manually without an identity provider: 1. At **Settings > Users > Groups**, click **Add a group** below the list 2. Enter a group name 3. Add role bindings and members in the dialog if you want 4. Click **Create group** Bindings work the same way on manual and SCIM groups. Members must already be in your organization. A manual group is not synced with an identity provider, and the `/Groups` endpoint does not list it. *** ## SCIM group endpoints | Endpoint | Methods | | - | - | | `/api/scim/v2/Groups` | `GET`, `POST` | | `/api/scim/v2/Groups/{id}` | `GET`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` | `POST` with the `displayName` of an existing group returns `409 Conflict`. `GET /Groups` returns SCIM groups only, at most 100 per page. ### Supported PATCH operations | Operation | Example | Effect | | - | - | - | | `add members` | Add users to the group | The users hold the group's bindings | | `remove members` | Remove users from the group | The group's bindings no longer apply to them | | `replace displayName` | Rename the group | The name changes in LangWatch | | `replace members` | Replace the member list | Adds the new members and removes the old ones | A `replace` clears the membership only when `members` is an empty list or an explicit `null`. A `replace` with no `members` value, a `members` value that is not a list, or a list with entries that have no usable string `value` leaves the membership unchanged, so a malformed payload cannot revoke access. The other attributes in the same operation, such as `displayName`, still apply, and the unapplied part is written to the server log. ### Supported filter `GET /Groups` filters by `displayName` with a case-insensitive `eq`: ```http theme={null} GET /api/scim/v2/Groups?filter=displayName eq "Engineering" ``` *** ## Troubleshooting **Groups do not appear in LangWatch** * Group push is enabled in the identity provider's application settings * The provisioning log of the identity provider shows no error on the Groups endpoint * The bearer token is not revoked **Users in a group have no access** * Open the group at **Settings > Users > Groups**. The **Access granted** section needs at least one binding * The user is in the group's **Members** list. A user who was not in the organization when the identity provider pushed the group was skipped; push the group again after the user is provisioned **A user has more access than expected** * The user is in several groups. Bindings add up across groups * Bindings set on the user at **Settings > Users > People** add up with the group bindings **Removing a user from a group in the identity provider has no effect** * The identity provider pushes group membership changes, not only user changes * The provisioning log shows no error on the group `PATCH` *** ## Manage groups through the REST API The [Groups REST API](https://langwatch.ai/docs/api-reference/groups/overview.md) creates groups, sets their bindings and members, and deletes them, so you can script provisioning outside SCIM. > [!NOTE] > > The name and the members of a SCIM group belong to the identity provider. The REST API and the > settings page refuse to change them. *** For help, contact [support@langwatch.ai](mailto:support@langwatch.ai).
