Stack Overflow for Teams SCIM-based User Deactivation

A SCIM API script for Stack Overflow for Teams that can automate the Deactivation of a list of specific existing users.

Requirements

• A Stack Overflow for Teams instance with SCIM enabled (Basic, Business, or Enterprise)
• Python 3.8 or higher (download)
• Operating system: Linux, MacOS, or Windows

Setup

Download and unpack the contents of this repository

Installing Dependencies

• Open a terminal window (or, for Windows, a command prompt)
• Navigate to the directory where you unpacked the files
• Install the dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Enabling and Authenticating SCIM

To use the SCIM API, you'll first need to enable SCIM in the admin settings. Second, you'll need to generate a SCIM token to authenticate the API calls.

• SCIM Documentation for Basic and Business
• SCIM Documentation for Enterprise

NOTE: The SCIM token differs from the API token used for Stack Overflow for Teams API.

Usage

Create a file named users.csv in the same directory as the script. You can find a CSV template here.

• The CSV should have a single column with no header row
• Each row can be an email address or external ID

The script will read the CSV and Activate each user found in the list. If the user is not found, the script will skip to the next user and print a message to the console.

In a terminal window, navigate to the directory where you unpacked the script. Run the script with the --csv flag, replacing the URL, token, and path to CSV file with your own:

• For Basic and Business: python3 so4t_scim_user_deactivation.py --url "https://stackoverflowteams.com/c/TEAM-NAME" --token "YOUR_SCIM_TOKEN" --csv users.csv
• For Enterprise: python3 so4t_scim_user_deactivation.py --url "https://SUBDOMAIN.stackenterprise.co" --token "YOUR_SCIM_TOKEN" --csv users.csv

If API requests to the Stack Overflow for Teams server must be made through a proxy, you can use the --proxy flag to specify the proxy URL. Example: python3 so4t_tag_report.py --url "https://SUBDOMAIN.stackenterprise.co" --token "YOUR_SCIM_TOKEN" --proxy "PROXY.EXAMPLE.COM:PORTNUMBER"
