3043764 - Welcome email not sent from SCIM User Provisioning API with a custom SAML IDP tenant in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) & SAP Digital Boardroom

After creating a user via a post request to the Users endpoint on tenants configured with a custom SAML IDP a welcome email will not be received.

• SAP Analytics Cloud (Enterprise) 2021.7.0

1. Perform a GET request to <SAC-Tenant>/api/v1/scim/Users and include the following in the headers of the network request:
   
   • Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
   • x-csrf-token: fetch
     
   • x-sap-sac-custom-auth: true
2. Perform a POST request to <SAC-Tenant>/api/v1/scim/Users and include the following in the headers of the network request:
   
   • Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
   • x-csrf-token: <string> (found in the headers of the previous GET request)
     
   • x-sap-sac-custom-auth: true
3. Include the request body user schema to be submitted to the endpoint
   

   {
       "schemas": [
           "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User",
           "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User",
       ]
       "userName":"<user@email.com>",
       "name":
       {
           "givenName":"<User_Given_Name>",
           "familyName":"<User_Family_Name>"
       },
       "displayName":"<User_Display_Name>",
       "emails":[  
           {  
               "value":"<user@email.com>",
               "type":"work",
               "primary":true
           }
       ],
       "roles":[],
       "groups":[],
       "urn:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:1.0": {
           "manager": {
               "managerId": ""
           }
       }
   }

4. Observe that despite the creation of the User to be successful there is no welcome email sent.

Tenants configured with a custom SAML IDP will not receive a welcome email.

This is by design and the only way to receive email confirmation is to create a user manually or use a non custom SAML IDP.  This will happen with users created using SCIM and SCIM2.
