## Step 2—Configure connectivity to SuccessFactors ODATA API server

Azure AD needs to be configured with the account that has permissions to read data
from SuccessFactors.

If you’re configuring integration with on-premises AD, there is an additional step
of installing and configuring Azure AD Connect provisioning agent that is capable
of provisioning to multiple AD domains.

## Step 3—Configure scoping to define identities that will be managed with this integration

Identify which users should be provisioned from SuccessFactors to Azure AD or on-
premises AD. If you want to rollout SuccessFactors HR integration gradually based
on location, department or division, then you can use the scoping filters to determine
which users should be provisioned.

The example below uses a scoping filter based on the department attribute:

## Step 4—Configure attribute mappings

The pre-built SuccessFactors provisioning connector supports mapping [70+ different attributes](https://aka.ms/SuccessFactorsAttributeReference)
from SuccessFactors. With [expression mapping functions](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/functions-for-customizing-application-data),
you can apply attribute transformations such as replacing strings, concatenating
values and generating unique identifiers.SAP SuccessFactors to Azure AD
