# Add Facebook as an identity provider for External Identities
2121

2222
You can add Facebook to your self-service sign-up user flows (Preview) so that users can sign in to your applications using their own Facebook accounts. To allow users to sign in using Facebook, you'll first need to [enable self-service sign-up](self-service-sign-up-user-flow.md) for your tenant. After you add Facebook as an identity provider, set up a user flow for the application and select Facebook as one of the sign-in options.

An *identity provider* creates, maintains, and manages identity information while providing authentication services to applications. When sharing your apps and resources with external users, Azure AD is the default identity provider for sharing. This means when you invite external users who already have an Azure AD or Microsoft account, they can automatically sign in without further configuration on your part.

However, you can enable users to sign in with various identity providers. For example, you can set up federation with social identity providers that are supported by Azure AD, including Google and Facebook. You can also federate with any external identity provider that supports the SAML or WS-Fed protocols. With external identity provider federation, you can offer external users the ability to sign in to your apps with their existing social or enterprise accounts.

- You can federate with Google to allow your invited users to sign in to your shared apps and resources with their own Gmail accounts. Google federation can also be used in your self-service sign-up user flows.

- You can set up direct federation with any external identity provider that supports the SAML or WS-Fed protocols, allowing external users to sign in to your apps with their existing social or enterprise accounts. Direct federation can't be used in your self-service sign-up user flows.

- You can federate with Facebook for use in your self-service sign-up user flows. When building an app, you can configure self-service sign-up and enable Facebook federation so users can sign up for your app using their own Facebook accounts. Note that Facebook isn't available as a sign-in option when users are redeeming an invitation from you.

Azure AD External Identities is preconfigured for federation with Google and Facebook. To set up these identity providers in your Azure AD tenant, you'll create an application at each identity provider and configure credentials. You'll obtain a client or app ID and a client or app secret, which you can then add to your Azure AD tenant.

When sharing applications with external users, you might not always know in advance who will need access to an application. As an alternative to sending invitations directly to individuals, you can allow external users to sign up for specific applications themselves by enabling self-service sign-up. You can create a personalized sign-up experience by customizing the self-service sign-up user flow. For example, you can provide options for Azure AD or social identity providers and collect information about the user.

Associating your user flow with an application allows you to enable sign-up on that app. You can choose more than one application to be associated with the user flow. Once you associate the user flow with one or more applications, users who visit that app will be able to sign up using the options configured in the user flow.
