About this task

Provisioning provides the following features.
Create new users
New users that are created through Verify are also created in the Egnyte application.
Delete users
Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through Verify deletes the user in the Egnyte application.
Modify user profile
Updates made to the user's profile through Verify are pushed to the third-party application.
User suspend and restore
Suspending a user through Verify deactivates the user and restoring the user through Verify activates the user in the Egnyte application.
User synchronization and remediation
The Egnyte application supports user synchronization, remediation, and group synchronization features.

User synchronization fetches all the target application users in Verify and matches the fetched users with users in Verify. The adoption policy defined on the application specifies the matching attributes for adoption of the reconciled users.

Remediation policy can be configured to remediate user accounts with attribute values that differ between Verify and the target application. Verify supports the following three remediation policies.
  • NONE - Do not remediate non-compliant accounts automatically.
  • ON_SV - Update Verify account attribute values with the target application values.
  • ON_TARGET - Update target application account attribute values with Verify values.

Group synchronization fetches all the target application groups in Verify.

Fine grained entitlement
Assignment of groups to users is supported.
