# Add/Update a SCIM Attribute in Okta

IMPORTANTPrior to adding SCIM attributes, you must contact your Axiad Customer Success representative, or our Customer Success team ([customer.success@axiad.com),](mailto:customer.success@axiad.com,) to discuss your organization's integration.

The following instructions are to add or update the SCIM mapping in Okta to add the object security identifier (object SID).

Note that this process will start a resynchronization of all users in scope for SCIM. The potential impact would be a delay in any SCIM synchronization tasks for pending user changes, or new users, while the full resynchronization is taking place.

## To Add/Update your SCIM Attribute Mapping in Okta

TIPWe recommend you check [Okta's official documentation](https://help.okta.com/) for the most up-to-date procedures.

1. Sign into the Okta admin console.

Leave all other values as their default.
