I am using sonarqube and i can no longer create local user once scim is enabled.  
Is there any alternate method to replace local user?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Per [the docs](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.1/instance-administration/authentication/saml/scim/overview)

> When you enable automatic provisioning through SCIM, all users and groups become read-only in SonarQube Server. The only operations available in SonarQube Server are local group deletion and local user deactivation (local meaning not managed by SCIM).

Based on your [other topic](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/create-new-local-user-after-enabling-scim/177236), I assume you discovered that after creating this topic.
