select system$generate_scim_access_token('AAD_PROVISIONING');

This script performs the following tasks:

1.* Uses the `ACCOUNTADMIN` role.

1.* Creates the custom role `AAD_PROVISIONER`. The users in Snowflake created by Microsoft Entra ID are owned by the scoped down `AAD_PROVISIONER` role.

1.* Let the `ACCOUNTADMIN` role create the security integration that uses the `AAD_PROVISIONER` custom role.  The value `AAD_PROVISIONER` is case-sensitive and must always be capitalized.

1. Create and copy the authorization token to the clipboard and store securely for later use. The access token expires after six months and a new access token can be generated with this statement.
