In Azure AD, the term **[app provisioning](../app-provisioning/user-provisioning.md)** refers to automatically creating copies of user identities in the applications that users need access to, for applications that have their own data store, distinct from Azure AD or Active Directory. In addition to creating user identities, app provisioning includes the maintenance and removal of user identities from those apps, as the user's status or roles change. Common scenarios include provisioning an Azure AD user into applications like [Dropbox](../saas-apps/dropboxforbusiness-provisioning-tutorial.md), [Salesforce](../saas-apps/salesforce-provisioning-tutorial.md), [ServiceNow](../saas-apps/servicenow-provisioning-tutorial.md), as each of these applications have their own user repository distinct from Azure AD.

Azure AD also supports provisioning users into applications hosted on-premises or in a virtual machine, without having to open up any firewalls. If your application supports [SCIM](https://aka.ms/scimoverview), or you've built a SCIM gateway to connect to your legacy application, you can use the Azure AD Provisioning agent to [directly connect](./on-premises-scim-provisioning.md) with your application and automate provisioning and deprovisioning. If you have legacy applications that don't support SCIM and rely on an [LDAP](./on-premises-ldap-connector-configure.md) user store or a [SQL](./tutorial-ecma-sql-connector.md) database, Azure AD can support those as well.
