Provisioning users in SharePoint (on prem)

[#1]

We have a customer that needs to provision users in SharePoint.  Because of security/single sign-on we need to pull the user details out of AD using BCS.

Assuming we can do this and then create a list in a SharePoint list, is there then a way of provisioning these users in SharePoint?

Do you mean you need to grant them permission to the site? Are these claims users or using a trusted provider other than NTLM?

Many thanks for your reply Andrew

The users are authenticating using a Trusted Provider in AD FS. This is fine when a site is ‘Shared’ with
the user, but we need to automatically populate the users and groups from the external Directory.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Ian
