 ====== SCIM provisioning ======

 Before connecting with Stages, an API token has to be created. This will then be used by the identity provider to authenticate against the Stages application.
 ===== Setting the Token secret =====
-Stages generates its API tokens on the basis of a unique secret that can only be set by the Stages administrator. This should be a random string value with at least 32 two characters. This value should be stored in the file conf/secret.properties like this:

-''<property name="restapi.apitoken.secret" value="${apitoken.secret}"/>''

 After that, a service restart is necessary.

 However, participants (defined under Administration > Process Release > Participants) are another powerful way to allocate permissions for specific workspace contexts to a specific set of users.
-Participants are defined globally but user assignments are workspace-specific (under Management > Participants). Therefore every combination of participant and workspace can be seen as another user permission group. For such a combination, it is possible to declare it as a user permission group with a custom name (see SCIM settings). When set to enabled for a participant and a workspace, this is returned by the Stages SCIM API as user permission group with the given name and the prefix ''VG-<workspace-id>''.
