@Isura,

Can we use SCIM to implement self sign-up instead of introducing a new
self-sign up REST API? Can we extend the SCIM API to support the options we
need for the two self sign-up scenarios Malithi has mentioned in her
initial mail?

I think if it's possible we should go for it. If the restriction on using
one API is because we want to know whether user is doing a self-sign up or
getting created by an admin user, then I think it is wrong. Knowing who is
the actor who is creating the user, self or admin, is necessary for access
control only. That should be not a concern for the API. That should be
handled before hitting the API. We have discussed and handled a similar
requirement for our UserIdentityMangementAdminService which is a SOAP
service using two axis2 handlers. Farasath will send a mail on this I think.

I think we can discuss and see if it's possible to use SCIM to handle both
these scenarios.
