Microsoft Entra ID SCIM Validator test failing DELETE /Users/Id

After deleting the user, the validator performs GET /Users/{id} and our endpoint correctly returns 404 Not Found. However, the validator fails the test with the message "GET filter on deleted User should not return any Users or should return a User with active set to false."

The failed test report itself shows that the request was GET /Users/{id}, not a filtered GET /Users?filter=.... Could you confirm whether this is a SCIM Validator issue or whether the validator expects different behavior after DELETE? User's image

    Yes. Based on the documented behavior, returning 404 Not Found for GET /Users/{id} after a delete is valid, and the validator message appears inconsistent with the request it actually issued.

    Supported behavior is:

    1. DELETE /Users/{id} returns 204 No Content on success.
    2. A subsequent GET /Users/{id} for a non-existent user returns 404 Not Found.
    3. A filtered query for a missing user, such as GET /Users?filter=..., returns 200 OK with totalResults: 0 and an empty Resources array.

    That means these are two different expected patterns:

    • Lookup by ID after deletion: 404 Not Found
    • Filter query after deletion or for a missing user: 200 OK with zero results, or in some validator scenarios a returned user with active=false

    Since the failed test report shows the validator sent GET /Users/{id} but the failure text says GET filter on deleted User should not return any Users or should return a User with active set to false, the failure text does not match the request pattern. That points to a SCIM Validator issue rather than a requirement for different endpoint behavior.

    There is also prior Microsoft Q&A context showing known SCIM Validator bugs in other tests, with guidance to ignore clearly incorrect validator failures in those cases.
