# Tutorial: Configure RingCentral for automatic user provisioning
22
22
23
-
The objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate the steps to be performed in RingCentral and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to configure Azure AD to automatically provision and de-provision users and/or groups to RingCentral.
23
+
This tutorial describes the steps you need to perform in both RingCentral and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to configure automatic user provisioning. When configured, Azure AD automatically provisions and de-provisions users and groups to [RingCentral](https://www.ringcentral.com/office/plansandpricing.html) using the Azure AD Provisioning service. For important details on what this service does, how it works, and frequently asked questions, see [Automate user provisioning and deprovisioning to SaaS applications with Azure Active Directory](../manage-apps/user-provisioning.md).

## Assigning users to RingCentral
39
-
40
-
Azure Active Directory uses a concept called *assignments* to determine which users should receive access to selected apps. In the context of automatic user provisioning, only the users and/or groups that have been assigned to an application in Azure AD are synchronized.
41
-
42
-
Before configuring and enabling automatic user provisioning, you should decide which users and/or groups in Azure AD need access to RingCentral. Once decided, you can assign these users and/or groups to RingCentral by following the instructions here:
43
-
*[Assign a user or group to an enterprise app](../manage-apps/assign-user-or-group-access-portal.md)
44
-

## Important tips for assigning users to RingCentral
42
+
## Step 1. Plan your provisioning deployment
43
+
1. Learn about [how the provisioning service works](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/user-provisioning).
44
+
2. Determine who will be in [scope for provisioning](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/define-conditional-rules-for-provisioning-user-accounts).
45
+
3. Determine what data to [map between Azure AD and RingCentral](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/customize-application-attributes).
46
46
47
-
* It is recommended that a single Azure AD user is assigned to RingCentral to test the automatic user provisioning configuration. Additional users and/or groups may be assigned later.
48
-
49
-
* When assigning a user to RingCentral, you must select any valid application-specific role (if available) in the assignment dialog. Users with the **Default Access** role are excluded from provisioning.

## Add RingCentral from the gallery
67
-
68
-
Before configuring RingCentral for automatic user provisioning with Azure AD, you need to add RingCentral from the Azure AD application gallery to your list of managed SaaS applications.
69
-
70
-
**To add RingCentral from the Azure AD application gallery, perform the following steps:**
71
-
72
-
1. In the **[Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com)**, in the left navigation panel, select **Azure Active Directory**.
62
+
## Step 3. Add RingCentral from the Azure AD application gallery
73
63
74
-

64
+
Add RingCentral from the Azure AD application gallery to start managing provisioning to RingCentral. If you have previously setup RingCentral for SSO you can use the same application. However it is recommended that you create a separate app when testing out the integration initially. Learn more about adding an application from the gallery [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/add-gallery-app).
75
65
76
-
2. Go to **Enterprise applications**, and then select **All applications**.
66
+
## Step 4. Define who will be in scope for provisioning
The Azure AD provisioning service allows you to scope who will be provisioned based on assignment to the application and or based on attributes of the user / group. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned to your app based on assignment, you can use the following [steps](../manage-apps/assign-user-or-group-access-portal.md) to assign users and groups to the application. If you choose to scope who will be provisioned based solely on attributes of the user or group, you can use a scoping filter as described [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/define-conditional-rules-for-provisioning-user-accounts).
79
69
80
-
3. To add a new application, select the **New application** button at the top of the pane.
70
+
* When assigning users and groups to RingCentral, you must select a role other than **Default Access**. Users with the Default Access role are excluded from provisioning and will be marked as not effectively entitled in the provisioning logs. If the only role available on the application is the default access role, you can [update the application manifest](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-add-app-roles-in-azure-ad-apps) to add additional roles.
81
71
82
-

72
+
* Start small. Test with a small set of users and groups before rolling out to everyone. When scope for provisioning is set to assigned users and groups, you can control this by assigning one or two users or groups to the app. When scope is set to all users and groups, you can specify an [attribute based scoping filter](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/define-conditional-rules-for-provisioning-user-accounts).

4. In the search box, enter **RingCentral**, select **RingCentral** in the results panel, and then click the **Add** button to add the application.

93

> You may also choose to enable SAML-based single sign-on for RingCentral , following the instructions provided in the [RingCentral Single sign-on tutorial](ringcentral-tutorial.md). Single sign-on can be configured independently of automatic user provisioning, though these two features compliment each other.

## Step 6. Monitor your deployment
147
+
Once you've configured provisioning, use the following resources to monitor your deployment:
148
+
149
+
1. Use the [provisioning logs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/reports-monitoring/concept-provisioning-logs) to determine which users have been provisioned successfully or unsuccessfully
150
+
2. Check the [progress bar](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-provisioning-when-will-provisioning-finish-specific-user) to see the status of the provisioning cycle and how close it is to completion
151
+
3. If the provisioning configuration seems to be in an unhealthy state, the application will go into quarantine. Learn more about quarantine states [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-provisioning-quarantine-status).
