ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to technology for interacting with provisioning systems. An entity has an associated job code attribute that corresponds to a set of external resources. In one embodiment, an Identity System assigns the job code attribute to the entity. The external resources may be supported by different provisioning systems. A Provisioning Bridge Server determines whether a set of provisioning systems supports the resources corresponding to the job code attribute. The Provisioning Bridge Server also provisions the tasks required to make the external resources available to the entity. The tasks may be provisioned across multiple provisioning systems.
