Cursor-Based Pagination for Multi-Valued Attributes in SCIM 2.0
The System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) 2.0
specification (RFC 7644) defines pagination mechanisms at the
resource level. However, it does not provide a standardized method
for paginating large multi-valued attributes within a resource.
This limitation creates scalability and performance challenges in
modern identity systems, particularly for attributes such as group
memberships, roles, and entitlements.
This document proposes a cursor-based pagination mechanism for
multi-valued attributes in SCIM resources. The proposal introduces
attribute-level pagination parameters and response metadata,
including total count, to improve performance, consistency, and
usability in large-scale deployments.
