Provisioning is the process of creating and managing users through their life cycle. A user life cycle includes common use cases such as:
- An employee joining a company
- Changing their job function
- Change in name or profile information like an address or phone number
- Leaving a company
The OpenIAM Identity Manager provides a number of different tools to allow you to manage user provisioning. These include:
- Active Synchronization: Allows you to monitor a source system for change and then update the target systems at periodic intervals
- Provisioning using the Admin console
- Self Registration
- Request/Approval based user creation and management

Regardless of the option that is chosen, a common set of tools in the provisioning engine are used to support these functions. The rest of this section describes how to:
- Configure Active Synchronization from a source system
- Define business rules for synchronization
- Integrate with target systems to provision users
