# Auto Provisioning

- [Introduction](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/introduction.md)
- [Introduction to Auto Provisioning](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/introduction/introduction-to-auto-provisioning.md): Auto-provisioning eliminates manual steps in granting user’s access to software, ensuring they get the tools they need from day one.
- [Auto-Provisioning Methods](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/introduction/auto-provisioning-methods.md): Cakewalk offers two flexible methods for auto-provisioning, ensuring access is granted automatically, no matter your setup.
- [Prerequisites for Auto-Provisioning](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/introduction/prerequisites-for-auto-provisioning.md): Before you can enable auto-provisioning, make sure your setup meets the requirements based on your chosen provisioning method.
- [Key Benefits of Agent Cake](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/introduction/key-benefits-of-agent-cake.md): Agent Cake gives you full provisioning coverage—even for tools without SCIM or public APIs—while streamlining IT workflows and enforcing access governance.
- [How it works](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works.md)
- [Activate Agent Cake](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/activate-agent-cake.md): Agent Cake must be activated per app to enable auto-provisioning.
- [Configuration Settings](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/configuration-settings.md)
- [Control Provisioned Permissions](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/control-provisioned-permissions.md): Agent Cake allows fine-grained control over which permissions are provisioned automatically for each connected app.
- [Set up Service Accounts](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/set-up-service-accounts.md): Service accounts are recommended to ensure reliable, auditable provisioning activity—separate from individual user behavior.
- [Multi-Factor Authentication](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/multi-factor-authentication.md): Agent Cake supports Time-based One-Time Password-based MFA (TOTP) and can provision access even in apps where MFA is enforced.
- [Security & Data Protection](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/security-and-data-protection.md): Cakewalk protects your credentials using client-side encryption, isolated execution environments and in-memory decryption—ensuring they’re never exposed at rest or in transit.
- [IdP-Based Auto-Provisioning](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/idp-based-auto-provisioning.md): Connect your existing IdP workflows to Cakewalk to automatically reflect user provisioning and deprovisioning in Cakewalk.
- [Monitoring & Logs](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/monitoring-and-logs.md)
- [Execution Logs](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/monitoring-and-logs/execution-logs.md): Track the success and failure of auto-provisioning runs to stay in control.
- [Error Handling](https://docs.getcakewalk.io/~/changes/54/auto-provisioning/monitoring-and-logs/error-handling.md): If Agent Cake can’t complete a task, Cakewalk automatically falls back to manual provisioning—so access requests never get stuck.
