Question about SCIM User Deactivation
Okta SCIM only supports user deactivation, which sends a PATCH request that sets the active attribute to false. Users can be reactivated again, so this operation is reversible. Okta SCIM does not send a DELETE request via SCIM, which should completely delete the user in the target app.

My application only supports hard deletion. That means the user is removed from the database completely. The concept of a user being active or not does not exist in my application.
Can I hard delete the user in my app when the user is deactivated in Okta? Or will this cause any synchronization issues?
Hello @ruf7x (ruf7x) Thank you for posting on our Community page!
It seems that this option is available, if your SCIM app allows this, please see our doc below:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/concepts/scim/#delete-deprovision
Additionally if you need further assistance we recommend to leverage the Okta Developer forums for this type of questions and take advantage of their expertise.
