Provisioning

This is the process of on-boarding users to systems and applications. These processes provide users with necessary access to data and technology resources. The term typically is used in reference to enterprise-level resource management. Provisioning can be thought of as a combination of the duties of the human resources and IT departments, where users are given access to data repositories or systems, applications, and databases based on a unique user identity. Deprovisioning works in the opposite manner, resulting in the deletion or deactivation of an identity or of privileges assigned to the user identity.

Identity Provisioning

This relates to the processes and procedures in use for the creation, revocation, and deletion as well as the maintenance of user accounts. This is an aspect common to all identity-management schemes, but it presents more overhead in the case of the local-identity model. This is because the effort of provisioning identities is proportionate to the number of systems used by an organization. Furthermore, related issues such as password reset and update tend to increase the cost of identity management. Centralized enterprisewide identity-provisioning tools are becoming the solution of choice to these issues.
