Overview
User Provisioning provides administrators a real-time view of automated user data synchronization between your HR/identity source and Blink. Each time Blink imports user data from a connected source, a sync run is recorded with its status, duration, and logs (when available).
You can use User Provisioning to:
Monitor sync history (past and in-progress runs)
Filter and sort runs by time range, source, configuration, and status
Download logs (CSV/XLSX) for completed runs to investigate results or errors
Where to find it
In the Admin Panel sidebar, go to Blink Identity → User Provisioning.
How sync runs are displayed
Each row represents a sync run and typically includes:
Start time / date
Source connector (e.g., Google Workspace, Workday, SFTP Sync)
Configuration (if multiple are set up)
Status
Download option (only for some completed outcomes)
Filtering and sorting
At the top of the Syncs page, you can narrow down results using:
Date range: All Time, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or Custom
Sort order: Newest first (default) or Oldest first
Configuration: Filter by a specific sync configuration name (most orgs have one; use this if you have multiple, e.g., Google and Workday)
Status: Filter by one or more sync statuses
Active filters appear as pills. Select Clear filters to reset all filters.
Sync statuses (and what to do)
Status | Meaning | Recommended action |
Queued | The sync is scheduled and waiting to start. | No action required. |
In Progress | The sync is currently running. | No action required. |
Success | The sync completed without issues. | If needed, download logs to confirm results. |
Needs Attention | The sync completed with warnings. | Download logs and review warnings. |
Data Load Failed | User data could not be loaded. | Download error logs and investigate the cause. |

Downloading logs
For completed sync runs, a Download button appears in the run row. You can download logs in:
CSV
Excel (XLSX)
