# PingOne for Enterprise Directory API

PingOne for Enterprise Directory provides a hosted directory service that developers can use to store user authentication and profile data. The directory interface uses the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) v1.1 open standard protocol.

SCIM provides both a defined schema for user representation as well as a RESTful API for performing user and group CRUD actions (Create, Read, Update, Delete).
