Account Provisioning
Identity solution
Create, update, and retire accounts from authoritative data with a workflow that is repeatable, testable, and ready to run on a schedule.
At a glance
NIM account provisioning turns authoritative identity data into controlled create, update, disable, or delete actions in connected target systems. Build the workflow by collecting source and target data, relating and filtering the correct population, mapping the required account changes, and running those mappings in a job.
Verify success: Test with safe records before scheduling the job. Confirm the created or updated target accounts have the intended values, then review each job result to catch changes that could not be applied.
Build the solution
Connect source and target systems
Collect person data from the authoritative source and connect each directory, SaaS platform, or application where accounts are managed.
Prepare identity data
Create relations and filters that select the correct people and calculate the values each target account needs.
Map controlled account changes
Configure mappings for create, update, disable, or delete behavior, then combine them into a job.
Recommended path
Follow the provisioning tutorial for an end-to-end example that connects HR data to Active Directory, creates accounts, and keeps existing accounts synchronized.
After testing with safe records, schedule the job and review job results regularly.
If the selected record does not receive the intended change, follow Troubleshoot NIM provisioning failures before retrying a broad job or schedule.
