# Tutorial: Configure Flock for automatic user provisioning
22+
23+
The objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate the steps to be performed in Flock and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to configure Azure AD to automatically provision and de-provision users and/or groups to Flock.
24+
25+
> [!NOTE]
26+
> 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).
27+
>
28+
> 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/).
29+
30+
## Prerequisites
31+
32+
The scenario outlined in this tutorial assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:
33+
34+
* An Azure AD tenant.
35+
* [A Flock tenant](https://flock.com/pricing/)
36+
* A user account in Flock with Admin permissions.
37+
38+
## Assigning users to Flock
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 Flock . Once decided, you can assign these users and/or groups to Flock 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+
45+
## Important tips for assigning users to Flock
46+
47+
* It is recommended that a single Azure AD user is assigned to Flock to test the automatic user provisioning configuration. Additional users and/or groups may be assigned later.
48+
49+
* When assigning a user to Flock, you must select any valid application-specific role (if available) in the assignment dialog. Users with the **Default Access** role are excluded from provisioning.
50+
51+
## Setup Flock for provisioning
52+
53+
Before configuring Flock for automatic user provisioning with Azure AD, you will need to enable SCIM provisioning on Flock.
54+
55+
1. Login into [Flock](https://web.flock.com/?). Click **Settings Icon** > **Manage your team**.
56+
57+
![Flock](media/flock-provisioning-tutorial/icon.png)
58+
59+
2. Select **Auth and Provisioning**.
60+
61+
![Flock](media/Flock-provisioning-tutorial/auth.png)
62+
63+
3. Copy the **API Token**.These values will be entered in the **Secret Token** field in the Provisioning tab of your Flock application in the Azure portal.
64+
65+

66+
67+
68+
## Add Flock from the gallery
69+
70+
To configure Flock for automatic user provisioning with Azure AD, you need to add Flock from the Azure AD application gallery to your list of managed SaaS applications.
71+
72+
**To add Flock from the Azure AD application gallery, perform the following steps:**
73+
74+
1. In the **[Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com)**, in the left navigation panel, select **Azure Active Directory**.
75+
76+
![The Azure Active Directory button](common/select-azuread.png)
77+
78+
2. Go to **Enterprise applications**, and then select **All applications**.
79+
80+
![The Enterprise applications blade](common/enterprise-applications.png)
81+
82+
3. To add a new application, select the **New application** button at the top of the pane.
83+
84+
![The New application button](common/add-new-app.png)
85+
86+
4. In the search box, enter **Flock**, select **Flock** in the results panel, and then click the **Add** button to add the application.
87+

## Configuring automatic user provisioning to Flock
91+
92+
This section guides you through the steps to configure the Azure AD provisioning service to create, update, and disable users and/or groups in Flock based on user and/or group assignments in Azure AD.
93+
94+
> [!TIP]
95+
> You may also choose to enable SAML-based single sign-on for Flock, following the instructions provided in the [Flock Single sign-on tutorial](Flock-tutorial.md). Single sign-on can be configured independently of automatic user provisioning, though these two features compliment each other
96+
97+
### To configure automatic user provisioning for Flock in Azure AD:
98+
99+
1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). Select **Enterprise Applications**, then select **All applications**.
100+
101+
![Enterprise applications blade](common/enterprise-applications.png)
102+
103+
2. In the applications list, select **Flock**.
104+
105+
![The Flock link in the Applications list](common/all-applications.png)
106+
107+
3. Select the **Provisioning** tab.
108+
109+
![Provisioning tab](common/provisioning.png)
110+
111+
4. Set the **Provisioning Mode** to **Automatic**.
112+
113+
![Provisioning tab](common/provisioning-automatic.png)
114+
115+
5. Under the Admin Credentials section, input the `https://api.flock-staging.com/v2/scim` and **API Token** values retrieved earlier in **Tenant URL** and **Secret Token** respectively. Click **Test Connection** to ensure Azure AD can connect to Flock. If the connection fails, ensure your Flock account has Admin permissions and try again.
116+
117+
![Tenant URL + Token](common/provisioning-testconnection-tenanturltoken.png)
118+
119+
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**.
120+
121+
![Notification Email](common/provisioning-notification-email.png)
122+
123+
7. Click **Save**.
124+
125+
8. Under the **Mappings** section, select **Synchronize Azure Active Directory Users to Flock**.
126+
127+
![Flock User Mappings](media/flock-provisioning-tutorial/usermapping.png)
128+
129+
9. Review the user attributes that are synchronized from Azure AD to Flock in the **Attribute Mapping** section. The attributes selected as **Matching** properties are used to match the user accounts in Flock for update operations. Select the **Save** button to commit any changes.
130+
131+
![Flock User Attributes](media/flock-provisioning-tutorial/userattribute.png)
132+
133+
11. 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).
134+
135+
12. To enable the Azure AD provisioning service for Flock , change the **Provisioning Status** to **On** in the **Settings** section.
136+
137+
![Provisioning Status Toggled On](common/provisioning-toggle-on.png)
138+
139+
13. Define the users and/or groups that you would like to provision to Flock by choosing the desired values in **Scope** in the **Settings** section.
140+
141+
![Provisioning Scope](common/provisioning-scope.png)
142+
143+
14. When you are ready to provision, click **Save**.
144+
145+
![Saving Provisioning Configuration](common/provisioning-configuration-save.png)
146+
147+
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. For more information on how long it will take for users and/or groups to provision, see [How long will it take to provision users](../manage-apps/application-provisioning-when-will-provisioning-finish-specific-user.md#how-long-will-it-take-to-provision-users).
148+
149+
You can use the **Current Status** section to monitor progress and follow links to your provisioning activity report, which describes all actions performed by the Azure AD provisioning service on Flock. For more information, see [Check the status of user provisioning](../manage-apps/application-provisioning-when-will-provisioning-finish-specific-user.md). To read the Azure AD provisioning logs, see [Reporting on automatic user account provisioning](../manage-apps/check-status-user-account-provisioning.md).
