# Next steps

After installed, complete some configuration steps and then start developing policies to enforce fine-grained access to data.

Consider performing the following next steps:

* [Configure access token validation](../pingauthorize_server_administration_guide/paz_config_access_token_val.html).

* [Configure a user store](../pingauthorize_server_administration_guide/paz_config_user_store.html).

* [Sign on to the administrative console](../pingauthorize_server_administration_guide/paz_sign_onto_admin_console.html) to configure endpoints for existing JSON APIs.

  For more information, see [About the API security gateway](../pingauthorize_server_administration_guide/paz_api_security_gw.html).

* Sign on to the administrative console to define SCIM APIs for data in databases.

  For more information, see [About the SCIM service](../pingauthorize_server_administration_guide/paz_about_scim_service.html).

* [Sign on to the PingAuthorize Policy Editor](paz_sign_onto_pe.html) to create policies.
