# Plan an automatic user provisioning deployment in Azure Active Directory

Many organizations rely on software as a service (SaaS) applications such as ServiceNow, Zscaler, and Slack for end-user productivity. Historically IT staff have relied on manual provisioning methods such as uploading CSV files, or using custom scripts to securely manage user identities in each SaaS application. These processes are error prone, insecure, and hard to manage.

These processes are error prone, insecure, and hard to manage.

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) automatic user provisioning simplifies this process by securely automating the creation, maintenance, and removal of user identities in SaaS applications based on business rules. This automation allows you to effectively scale your identity management systems on both cloud-only and hybrid environments as you expand their dependency on cloud-based solutions.

There are two types of Auth providers, and the distinction is around how your Azure subscription is charged. The per-authentication option calculates the number of authentications performed against your tenant in a month. This option is best if some users authenticate only occasionally. The per-user option calculates the number of users who are eligible to perform MFA, which is all users in Azure AD, and all enabled users in MFA Server. This option is best if some users have licenses but you need to extend MFA to more users beyond your licensing limits.
