<p class="MsoNormal">Hello WG (and chairs)<br>
<br>
Karl (cc'ed) and I have been working on a new protocol that complements OpenID Connect for an OP to centrally manage account lifecycles at RPs. We have also defined an Unauthorize Command which undoes whatever actions an RP did in a previous OpenID Connect
login -- useful if an OP suspects an account or device had been compromised -- instructs an RP to "kill all the sessions and tokens"<u></u><u></u></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Noto Sans",sans-serif;color:rgb(17,17,17)">The SCIM protocol is a general purpose protocol for a client to manage resources at a server. When the SCIM protocol is used between an IdP and an RP, the schema is defined by the
RP. The resources managed are in the context of the RP Tenant in a multi-tenant RP. Any extensions to the schema are defined by the RP. This provided an interoperable protocol to manage RP resources. OpenID Provider Commands are an extension of a user Account
created by OpenID Connect. It uses the same identity Claims that the OP issues for the user. It uses the same token Claims, and is verified the same way. OpenID Provider Commands are issued in the context of the OP Tenant in a multi-tenant OP.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

implementation complexity is not warranted. OpenID Provider Commands are designed to build on OpenID Connect, allowing RPs using OpenID Connect an easy path to offer OPs a standard API for security and lifecycle operations.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

and entitlements tend to be RP specific. Generally, groups from the OP will be mapped to roles and/or entitlements that are RP specific, at the RP.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
