Install Identity Connect

Identity Connect is installed on a server for all your 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.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic 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

Important 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 7.1.6. Identity Connect 7.1.6 adds to the extensive security improvements introduced in Identity Connect 7.1.1. Before downloading, make sure that you have the latest version of the Identity Connect managed package installed.

To install Identity Connect, you must have at least one Identity Connect license. Contact Salesforce to purchase Identity Connect. Identity Connect doesn’t appear in Setup until Salesforce adds the feature.
