Install Identity Connect

Your IT department installs Identity Connect on a server for all licensed users to access. Before installing Identity Connect, create an Identity Connect integration user record in Salesforce. This user record isn’t actually a user, but instead, it’s used by Identity Connect to integrate AD user account updates with Salesforce user records. We recommend using the Identity Connect integration user solely for Identity Connect integrations.

Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience

Available for an additional cost in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions. Developer Edition includes 10 Identity Connect permission set licenses.

User Permissions Needed
To install Identity Connect:	Manage Users
To integrate AD user accounts with Salesforce user accounts:	Identity Connect 3 Integration

As of the Winter ’22 release, Identity Connect 2.1 and Identity Connect 3.0.1.2 aren't available or supported. For improved security, download Identity Connect 7.1. Before downloading, make sure that you have the latest version of the Identity Connect managed package installed.

Important

To install Identity Connect, you must have at least one Identity Connect license. Contact Salesforce to purchase Identity Connect.

From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Identity Connect, and then select Identity Connect.

Identity Connect doesn’t appear in Setup until Salesforce adds the feature.
