# SCIM API Authentication

  

**In this section:**

### Step 1: Add SCIM secret

After enabling SCIM and generating the secret using the procedure described in [Enable SCIM support](https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/scim_config_online.htm#step-2-enable-scim-support), add the secret to the authorization header for all API requests.

**Example Header**

`Authorization: Bearer fn5V9eazQqCGcnDq7UMUnw==:onbq-F2Q8HdyByJG6mi1yaWKcRlhrpDirVSz7o3-U8k='`

### Step 2: Next steps

Use the following APIs to perform provisioning and management tasks, including the bearer token in the authorization header in every request.
