SCIM Error: Cannot Find Entity 'role'
Issue
Microsoft Entra ID SCIM provisioning fails when provisioning users to Fivetran. The following error appears:
Cannot find entity 'role' with name '...'
Environment
- Account settings
- SCIM
- Identity provider: Microsoft Entra ID
Resolution
To resolve this issue, update the role attribute mapping in Microsoft Entra ID:
- Open the SCIM provisioning attribute mappings for the Fivetran application.
- Locate the
roles[primary eq "True"].valueattribute mapping. - Replace the unsupported role value with one of the following supported values, which are case-sensitive:
account_administratoraccount_analystaccount_billingaccount_reviewerdestination_creator
The Display name can remain the human-readable Fivetran role name, such as
Account Administrator, but the Value field must use lowercase with underscores, such asaccount_administrator. - Re-run provisioning.
For more information, see Add roles to the application and Customize user provisioning attribute mappings.
Cause
This issue occurs when Microsoft Entra ID sends an unsupported role value during SCIM provisioning. The Fivetran SCIM API only accepts specific account-level role values, and they are case-sensitive. When the roles[primary eq "True"].value attribute mapping sends a value that doesn't match a supported role, we reject the request.
