# SCIM provisioning with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)
> Create, update, and deactivate Blinq users and their digital business cards from Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, using SCIM 2.0.
SCIM provisioning is available on **Enterprise** plans, and is enabled per workspace. [Talk to your account team](mailto:support@blinq.me) to switch it on. Once it's enabled, generating your credentials is self-serve in the Blinq dashboard.
SCIM provisioning connects Microsoft Entra ID to Blinq so your directory drives your team's digital business cards.
Microsoft Entra ID was previously called **Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)**. If your team still calls it Azure AD, it's the same product and these pages apply.
Assign a user to Blinq in Entra and their account and card are created automatically, pre-filled from their directory profile. Update the directory and the card follows. Remove the user and their access is revoked.
Blinq is a pre-built app in the Microsoft Entra gallery, so the attribute mappings arrive pre-populated.
## Prerequisites
* An **Admin** or **Owner** role in your Blinq workspace, on an Enterprise plan with SCIM enabled.
* An Entra role that can manage enterprise applications: **Application Administrator**, **Cloud Application Administrator**, or **Global Administrator**.
* No Microsoft developer account is required.
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are configured separately. These pages cover SCIM only.
## Feature overview
| Feature | Supported | Configuration |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Create Blinq users and cards from the directory | Yes | — |
| Sync attribute changes | Yes | On the provisioning cycle, roughly every 40 minutes |
| Deactivate users | Yes | See [How provisioning works](/identity/how-provisioning-works) |
| Apply team templates at provisioning time | Yes | With optional attribute filters |
| Group provisioning | No | Users in an assigned group are provisioned individually |
| Profile photos | No | Entra doesn't expose them over SCIM — added by the card owner or an admin |
Sync is one-way, from Entra ID to Blinq. Changes made in Blinq don't flow back to your directory.
