# Configuring provisioning

To configure provisioning, you'll create a connection to the appropriate identity store, then create a rule that determines how users will be provisioned.

You can use some connection types for outbound provisioning, some for inbound provisioning, and some for both. You can also use an LDAP gateway connection to provision to and from LDAP directories, such as Microsoft Active Directory or PingDirectory.

|   | Not all provisioning connection types support inbound provisioning. Learn more in [Inbound and outbound provisioning](p1_provisioning.html#p1_inbound_outbound). |

Use the following steps to set up provisioning, depending on your configuration.

## Inbound

1. [Create a connection](p1_connections_provisioning.html)

2. [Create an inbound rule](p1_create_provisioning_rule_inbound.html)

3. [View sync status](p1_view_sync_status.html)

## Outbound

1. [Create a connection](p1_connections_provisioning.html)

2. [Create an outbound rule](p1_create_provisioning_rule_outbound.html)

   | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | You can [configure outbound group provisioning](p1_provisioning_configuring_outbound_group_provisioning.html) when creating an outbound rule. |

3. [View sync status](p1_view_sync_status.html)

## Inbound using a gateway

1. [Create a connection](p1_connections_provisioning.html)

2. [Create an inbound rule for a connection through an LDAP gateway](p1_create_inbound_provisioning_rule_gateway.html)

3. [Add attribute mapping for inbound provisioning](p1_create_provisioning_rule_inbound.html)

4. [Add a user filter](p1_create_provisioning_rule_outbound.html)

5. [View sync status](p1_view_sync_status.html)

## Outbound using a gateway

1. [Create a connection](p1_connections_provisioning.html)

2. [Create an outbound rule for a connection through an LDAP gateway](p1_create_outbound_provisioning_rule_gateway.html)
