##### **Setup Application**

1. Select Data Ingestion method as **Connector**
2. Enter application **Name**
3. Enter the **Application** **Owner** email information
4. Search Connector in **Featured Integrations** and select ****GitHub****
5. **Agent **is software that needs to be installed on your on premise environment to pull data from applications such as Active Directory, Database and Custom Applications which are not cloud based.
   1. Select **remote**if you already have the Agent Software installed
      1. The server where the agent is currently installed needs to have connectivity to the on-premises application or database.
      2. If a new agent is required, contact your implementation consultant or submit a ticket via the SecurEnds Help Desk using the Report Issue link in the upper right corner of the SecurEnds application.  SecurEnds will need to provide files and instructions.
   2. Select **local**if the application is cloud based. No agent install is required.
      1. You will need to whitelist the SecurEnds IP’s.  Your Implementation Consultant can provide these.
6. Select **Match By** logic as **Default(Email or FirstName and LastName)** or **Employee** **Id**
   - If we select **Default(Email or FirstName and LastName)** the system will match the user with Email or First Name and Last Name while syncing
   - If we select **Employee Id** the system will only match the Employee ID while syncing
7. Select **Include Inactive Users** to fetch all users while sync
   - If we select **Yes** all the Active status users along with Disabled status users will be added in the Matched users for Active Directory.
   - If we select **No** then only Active user will be added to the Matched users for Active Directory.
8. **Include Entitlements** Enabled as **Yes** to load the entitlements on application while syncing.
