Provisioning operations can act on Apache Syncope only or be propagated towards external resources as well.

The provisioning operation can be initiated by an authorized user (for instance, working on Apache Syncope administration console) or by an internal task like a synchronization task.

A synchronization task can be used to perform a bulk provisioning operation involving either Syncope and one or more external resources.

External resource provisioning

The propagation implements the provisioning on external resources. It depends on the assignment, directly or indirectly (via memberships), of users/roles to external resources.

Users and roles can be assigned or linked to an external resource in three different ways: with a soft link, with a hard link, without any link (see below for more details).

The Each provisioning operation can be initiated by an authorized user (for instance, working on Apache Syncope administration console) or by a synchronization process.A synchronization process can be used to perform a bulk provisioning operation involving either Syncope and one or more external resourcesinvolving a certain user/role will be propagated (if permitted by resource connector instance capabilities) towards each resource linked by the user/role object itself.

In general, the provisioning won't occur on a certain external resource if any direct/indirect link exists with that resource.
