# Developing identity store provisioners

You can create an identity store provisioner by implementing either the `IdentityStoreProvisionerWithFiltering` or `IdentityStoreProvisioner` interface.

Both interfaces support provisioning and deprovisioning users and groups to an external user store. The `IdentityStoreProvisionerWithFiltering` interface supports list/query and filtering; the `IdentityStoreProvisioner` interface does not. Learn more about list/query and filtering in [3.2.2. List/Query Resources and 3.2.2.1. Filtering](https://simplecloud.info/specs/draft-scim-api-01.html#query-resources) in the SCIM specification.
