# Creating a provisioning connection

To allow PingFederate to manage users in Zoom, create a service provider (SP) connection.

## Steps

1. In the PingFederate administrator console, create a new SP connection:

   Choose from:

   * For PingFederate 10.1 or later, go to **Applications > Integration > SP Connections**. Click **Create Connection**.

   * For PingFederate 10.0 or earlier, go to **Identity Provider > SP Connections**. Click **Create Connection**.

2. Configure the basic connection details with the Zoom quick connection template:

   1. On the **Connection Template** tab, select **Use a template for this connection**.

   2. In the **Connection Template** list, select **Zoom Provisioner**.

   3. On the **Metadata File** row, select the `zoom-saml-metadata.xml` file you modified in [Getting a vanity URL for Zoom](pf_zoom_connector_getting_a_vanity_url_for_zoom.html). Click **Next**.

   4. On the **Connection Type** tab select only **Outbound Provisioning**. Click **Next**.

   5. On the **Connection Options** tab, click **Next**.

   6. On the **General Info** tab, in the **Connection Name** field, enter a name for the connection. Click **Next**.

3. On the **Outbound Provisioning** tab, configure the provisioning target and channel as shown in [Configuring outbound provisioning](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_spconnectionconfigtasklet_saasprovisioningstate.html) in the PingFederate documentation.

   1. Click **Configure Provisioning**.

   2. On the **Target** tab, enter the account ID, client ID, and client secret noted in step 4.

      | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
      |   | PingFederate verifies the configurations when you activate the channel and SP connection. |

   3. Under **Provisioning Options**, customize the provisioning connector actions as shown in [Provisioning options reference](pf_zoom_connector_provisioning_options_reference.html). Click **Next**.

   4. On the **Manage Channels** tab, create a channel as shown in [Managing channels](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_saasmanagementtasklet_saasmanagementstate.html) in the PingFederate documentation. Click **Done**.

      |   |                                                                                                                                                                                        |
      | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
      |   | You can find more information about the attributes available in your channel configuration in [Supported attributes reference](pf_zoom_connector_supported_attributes_reference.html). |

   5. On the **Outbound Provisioning** tab, click **Next**.

4. On the **Activation and Summary** tab, above the **Summary** section, turn on the connection. Click **Save**.
