# Activate Agent Cake

Agent Cake must be activated for each supported app individually (see coverage [here](broken://pages/oBeKJIOhT0d43FHAQ1sH)). This gives teams full control over where and how auto-provisioning is applied.

Once activated, Agent Cake can automatically:

* **Provision access** when users need it: creating accounts and assigning permissions
* **Deprovision access** when users no longer need it: deleting or suspending accounts and revoking permissions

Both features use the same Agent Cake configuration and credentials, so you can enable both in one single configuration.

#### Activation Flow

1. Navigate to `App governance`

2. Search for app you'd like to auto-provision through Agent Cake. You can find all the apps that are currently supported by Agent Cake [here](broken://pages/3BA3ekJ9tVWUIfVFKevt).

3. Select the app, you'd like to auto-provision with Agent Cake from the table.

4. Click `Provisioning`

5. Click `Configure` next to Agent Cake to start the configuration for the selected app. To complete the configuration for a given app, please consult the corresponding integration guide [here](broken://pages/3BA3ekJ9tVWUIfVFKevt).

#### Test Connection

After configuring Agent Cake for an app, you can test the connection to verify that your credentials are working correctly:

1. Navigate to an app that already has Agent Cake configured
2. Click on the contextual menu (two dots)
3. Select **"Test Connection"**

The test will validate your Agent Cake credentials and show you the connection status:

* **Enabled**: Your connection is working and ready for auto-provisioning
* **Failed**: There's an issue with your credentials that needs to be resolved before auto-provisioning can work

If the test fails, check your credentials and configuration settings, then try testing again. Failed connections will prevent auto-provisioning from working until resolved.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.cakewalk.security/docs/how-to-guides/auto-provisioning/how-it-works/activate-agent-cake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
