Configuring provisioning for Box

Use this task to provision users from Verify to a Box application.

Before you begin

You need an API key that is generated from Box. You need the following parameters to configure user provisioning in Verify.

Provisioning provides the following features.

Create new users: New users that are created through Verify are also created in the Box application.
Delete users: Deactivating the user or disabling the user's access to the application through Verify deletes the user in the Box 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 Box application.
User synchronization and remediation: User synchronization and remediation are supported only through APIs. Synchronization fetches all the Box application users, creates the users on Verify, and according to the remediation policy, modifies the attributes.
Fine grained entitlement: Fine grained entitlement is not supported for the Box application.
