User Provisioning

Overview

User provisioning is a type of identity management in which access rights and authorization privileges are granted and monitored. Provisioning is defined by user objects such as members, vendors, user attributes, and so on. Email, database access, and network access are examples of services that may be provided. User provisioning is identified by configuring role-based access control. Permissions, roles, groups, and users are the most common components of role-based access control. A user is assigned to a group or groups, a group is assigned to roles (for example, read-only, editor, or administrator), and a role is made up of different permissions. User provisioning is generally managed by IT and administrators.

CAM offers multiple methods for provisioning users and groups from external systems, including manually uploading a configured CSV through the "Upload Users" feature on the Administration tab, uploading a CSV via the Jobs tab, or configuring and scheduling an Active Directory synchronization.
