+# Tutorial: Configure Blink for automatic user provisioning
+
+The objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate the steps to be performed in Blink and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to configure Azure AD to automatically provision and de-provision users and/or groups to Blink.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This tutorial describes a connector built on top of the Azure AD User 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).
+>
+> This connector is currently in Public Preview. For more information on the general Microsoft Azure terms of use for Preview features, see [Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/preview-supplemental-terms/).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The scenario outlined in this tutorial assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:
+
+* An Azure AD tenant
+* [A Blink tenant](https://joinblink.com/pricing)
+* A user account in Blink with Admin permissions.
+
+## Assigning users to Blink
+
+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.
+
+Before configuring and enabling automatic user provisioning, you should decide which users and/or groups in Azure AD need access to Blink. Once decided, you can assign these users and/or groups to Blink by following the instructions here:
+* [Assign a user or group to an enterprise app](../manage-apps/assign-user-or-group-access-portal.md)
+
+## Important tips for assigning users to Blink
+
+* It is recommended that a single Azure AD user is assigned to Blink to test the automatic user provisioning configuration. Additional users and/or groups may be assigned later.
+
+* When assigning a user to Blink, you must select any valid application-specific role (if available) in the assignment dialog. Users with the **Default Access** role are excluded from provisioning.
+
+## Setup Blink for provisioning
+
+1. Log a [Support Case](https://help.joinblink.com/hc/requests/new) or email **Blink support** at [email protected] to request a SCIM token. .
+
+2.	Copy the **SCIM Authentication Token**. This value will be entered in the Secret Token field in the Provisioning tab of your Blink application in the Azure portal.
+
+## Add Blink from the gallery
+
+Before configuring Blink for automatic user provisioning with Azure AD, you need to add Blink from the Azure AD application gallery to your list of managed SaaS applications.
+
+**To add Blink from the Azure AD application gallery, perform the following steps:**
+
+1. In the **[Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com)**, in the left navigation panel, select **Azure Active Directory**.
+
+	![The Azure Active Directory button](common/select-azuread.png)
+
+2. Go to **Enterprise applications**, and then select **All applications**.
+
+	![The Enterprise applications blade](common/enterprise-applications.png)
+
+3. To add a new application, select the **New application** button at the top of the pane.
+
+	![The New application button](common/add-new-app.png)
+
+4. In the search box, enter **Blink**, select **Blink** in the results panel, and then click the **Add** button to add the application.
+
+	![Blink in the results list](common/search-new-app.png)
+
+## Configuring automatic user provisioning to Blink 
+
+This section guides you through the steps to configure the Azure AD provisioning service to create, update, and disable users and/or groups in Blink based on user and/or group assignments in Azure AD.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You may also choose to enable SAML-based single sign-on for Blink , following the instructions provided in the [Blink Single sign-on tutorial](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/saas-apps/blink-tutorial). Single sign-on can be configured independently of automatic user provisioning, though these two features compliment each other
+
+### To configure automatic user provisioning for Blink in Azure AD:
+
+1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). Select **Enterprise Applications**, then select **All applications**.
+
+	![Enterprise applications blade](common/enterprise-applications.png)
+
+2. In the applications list, select **Blink**.
+
+	![The Blink link in the Applications list](common/all-applications.png)
+
+3. Select the **Provisioning** tab.
+
+	![Provisioning tab](common/provisioning.png)
+
+4. Set the **Provisioning Mode** to **Automatic**.
+
+	![Provisioning tab](common/provisioning-automatic.png)
+
+5. Under the **Admin Credentials** section, input `https://api.joinblink.com/scim` in **Tenant URL**. Input the **SCIM Authentication Token** value retrieved earlier in **Secret Token**. Click **Test Connection** to ensure Azure AD can connect to Blink. If the connection fails, ensure your Blink account has Admin permissions and try again.
+
+	![Tenant URL + Token](common/provisioning-testconnection-tenanturltoken.png)
+
+6. In the **Notification Email** field, enter the email address of a person or group who should receive the provisioning error notifications and check the checkbox - **Send an email notification when a failure occurs**.
+
+	![Notification Email](common/provisioning-notification-email.png)
+
+7. Click **Save**.
+
+8. Under the **Mappings** section, select **Synchronize Azure Active Directory Users to Blink**.
+
+	![Blink User Mappings](media/blink-provisioning-tutorial/User_mappings.png)
+
+9. Review the user attributes that are synchronized from Azure AD to Blink in the **Attribute Mapping** section. The attributes selected as **Matching** properties are used to match the user accounts in Blink for update operations. Select the **Save** button to commit any changes.
+
+	![Blink User Attributes](media/blink-provisioning-tutorial/User_attributes.png)
+
+10. To configure scoping filters, refer to the following instructions provided in the [Scoping filter tutorial](../manage-apps/define-conditional-rules-for-provisioning-user-accounts.md).
+
+11. To enable the Azure AD provisioning service for Blink, change the **Provisioning Status** to **On** in the **Settings** section.
+
+	![Provisioning Status Toggled On](common/provisioning-toggle-on.png)
+
+12. Define the users that you would like to provision to Blink by choosing the desired values in **Scope** in the **Settings** section.
+
+	![Provisioning Scope](common/provisioning-scope.png)
+
+15. When you are ready to provision, click **Save**.
+
+	![Saving Provisioning Configuration](common/provisioning-configuration-save.png)
+
+This operation starts the initial synchronization of all users and/or groups defined in **Scope** in the **Settings** section. The initial sync takes longer to perform than subsequent syncs, which occur approximately every 40 minutes as long as the Azure AD provisioning service is running. You can use the **Synchronization Details** section to monitor progress and follow links to provisioning activity report, which describes all actions performed by the Azure AD provisioning service on Blink.
+
+For more information on how to read the Azure AD provisioning logs, see [Reporting on automatic user account provisioning](../manage-apps/check-status-user-account-provisioning.md).
