# Creating an Identity Store Provisioner instance

On the **Type** tab, you begin creating an instance of an identity store that PingFederate uses to bridge the inbound System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) processing to an external user store using a custom implementation.

## Steps

1. Go to **System > Data & Credential Stores > Identity Store Provisioners**.

2. Click **Create New Instance**.

3. On the **Type** tab, enter the a name and an ID in the **Instance Name** and **Instance ID** fields.

4. From the **Type** list, select a provisioner type.

   Available provisioner types are limited to those that are currently installed on your server.

5. (Optional) Select a parent instance from the **Parent Instance** list.

   If you are creating an instance that is similar to an existing instance, you might consider making it a child instance by specifying a parent. A child instance inherits the configuration of its parent unless overridden. You can specify overrides during the rest of the setup.

6. Click **Next**.
