# Create temporary accounts with JIT provisioning

Just-in-time (JIT) provisioning creates temporary accounts that are active only for the duration of a task or session. At checkout, the system generates an account with the necessary permissions, which is automatically removed upon check-in.

This guide explains how to configure JIT provisioning creation to create temporary accounts.

### Configure JIT account creation

1. In ***Administration*** – ***Privileged Access*** – **Providers**, select your PAM Provider and click ***Edit***.
2. Go to the ***JIT privilege elevation*** and locate ***Advanced***.
3. Enter the path in the correct format for your Active Directory (e.g., `OU=JITAccounts,DC=example,DC=com`) under ***JIT Account creation location***.
4. Save your changes.

### Add a new domain user PAM account

1. Go to your ***PAM** Vault and* click ***Add new entry***.
2. Select (***PAM)*** – ***Domain user***.
3. Fill in ***Name*** and ***Username***.
4. Select your ***Provider*** in the ***drop-down menu***.
5. Check the ***Just-in-Time (JIT) account*** checkbox.
6. Click ***Add*** to save the entry.

### Understand the JIT process

When you check out the account, the system automatically creates it in Active Directory. It remains active for the duration of the checkout period, and upon check-in, the account is immediately deleted from Active Directory.
