Build and Configure NIM
Build & configure
Build reliable identity automation in the same order work happens: connect systems, prepare the right data, define controlled changes, and run them safely.
This area is the Studio-aligned feature reference. Use it when you know the NIM capability you need, or follow the sequence below when building a new workflow. For an outcome-focused path, start with Identity solutions; for routine monitoring and maintenance, use Administration & operations.
Build the core automation workflow
Connect systems
Add authoritative source systems and target systems, collect data, and establish the foundation for identity automation.
Open Systems →Prepare identity data
Create relations, filters, calculated values, and generators that select and shape the records your workflow needs.
Open Processing →Define the outcome
Use mappings, roles, jobs, and auditing to make controlled account and access changes in target systems.
Open Output →Run and schedule work
Run workflows manually while testing, then schedule dependable tasks and review their history.
Open Scheduler →Respond to conditions
Use events, templates, and actions to notify people or trigger a controlled response when defined conditions occur.
Open Events →Configure the platform and user experiences
Configure the platform
Manage security, notifications, certificates, variables, validation, logs, data panes, and connector settings.
Open Configuration →Build user-facing Apps
Create secure forms for self-service, delegated administration, requests, and specialized identity workflows.
Open Apps →A practical first workflow
- Choose an integration or create the systems that provide person and account data.
- Follow the provisioning tutorial to connect the pieces into a working HR-to-directory workflow.
- Add roles, onboarding, or an App when the initial provisioning foundation is stable.
- Use Administration & operations to monitor results, schedule backups, maintain certificates, and troubleshoot problems.
The sections under this page mirror the major NIM Studio areas. Technical articles appear here once, in their canonical feature location, so the menu stays predictable as the documentation grows.
