This topic provides instructions on how to provision users to a trusted identity provider from the WSO2 Identity Server. A trusted identity provider is basically an identity provider that supports inbound provisioning. It can be Google, Salesforce, another Identity Server, etc. 

Outbound provisioning Provisioning is supported via SCIM or SPML standards. There are outbound provisioning connectors for Google and Salesforce available by default in the Identity Server. If you need to plug any other custom connector, you can do it as well by writing an extension for that as described here. Outbound provisioning configurations can be found under identity provider configuration user interface of the Identity Server.
