# About Directory Connector> [!NOTE] Different user provisioning methods> This article discusses only one of the available methods to invite users and manage your subscription’s seat count:> > - All organizations can [manually invite users](https://bitwarden.com/help/managing-users/) and update the [seat count](https://bitwarden.com/help/manage-subscription-seats-in-your-organization/).> - Teams and Enterprise organizations can use [SCIM](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-scim/).> - Teams and Enterprise organizations can use [Directory Connector](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync/).> - Enterprise organizations can use [just-in-time (JIT)](https://bitwarden.com/help/jit-provisioning/). The Bitwarden Directory Connector app: - **Automatically provisions users, groups, and group associations** in your Bitwarden organization by pulling from a selection of source directory services. Provisioned users will be issued invitations to join the organization, and can subsequently complete the acceptance and confirmation steps of the normal [onboarding procedure](https://bitwarden.com/help/managing-users/#add-new-members/). - **Can be configured to remove users** from your Bitwarden organization when they are disabled from the source directory. This won't delete their Bitwarden accounts, but they will lose all access to your organization. - **Can be run on-demand or automatically** on a configured interval. ## Applications Directory Connector is available as a cross-platform [desktop app](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync-desktop/) and as a [command line interface (CLI)](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync-cli/). The desktop app and CLI [share a database and configurations](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync-shared/), so **simultaneous** use on a single machine is not recommended. The recommended path is to complete configuration and testing using the [desktop app](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync-desktop/), and subsequently using the [CLI](https://bitwarden.com/help/directory-sync-cli/) to [schedule automatic syncing](https://bitwarden.com/help/schedule-directory-sync/) to your production organization. Directory Connector can be **installed on any desktop device that can access the source directory**, including as an agent on the server that hosts your directory or on an administrator's workstation. > [!NOTE] Directory connector teams and enterprises> To use Directory Connector, you must have access to your [organization API key](https://bitwarden.com/help/public-api/#authentication/) which can only be retrieved by an [organization owner](https://bitwarden.com/help/user-types-access-control/) and securely shared using [Bitwarden Send](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-send/). ### Download Download Directory Connector now: ### Desktop app Download the latest version of the Directory Connector desktop app from [GitHub](https://github.com/bitwarden/directory-connector/releases) or using one of the following links: - πŸͺŸ [Windows Installer (.exe)](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=windows) - πŸͺŸ [Windows Portable (.exe)](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=windows&variant=portable) - 🍎 [macOS (.dmg)](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=macos) - 🐧 [Linux (.AppImage)](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=linux) ### CLI Download the latest version of the Directory Connector CLI from [GitHub](https://github.com/bitwarden/directory-connector/releases) or using one of the following links: - πŸͺŸ [Windows CLI (.exe)](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=windows&variant=cli-zip) - 🍎 [macOS CLI](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=macos&variant=cli-zip) (ARM64-only) - 🐧 [Linux CLI](https://bitwarden.com/download/?app=connector&platform=linux&variant=cli-zip) As with everything at Bitwarden, Directory Connector is open source and hosted on GitHub at [github.com/bitwarden/directory-connector](https://github.com/bitwarden/directory-connector). ## Source directories Directory Connector supports sync from the following sources: - [Active Directory](https://bitwarden.com/help/ldap-directory/) - [Any LDAP-based directory](https://bitwarden.com/help/ldap-directory/) - [Microsoft Entra ID](https://bitwarden.com/help/microsoft-entra-id/) - [Google Workspace](https://bitwarden.com/help/workspace-directory/) - [Okta](https://bitwarden.com/help/okta-directory/) - [OneLogin](https://bitwarden.com/help/onelogin-directory/) ### Changing email addresses > [!NOTE] Who can change email addresses in organizations.> Members of organizations using [trusted devices](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-trusted-devices/) cannot change their email address unless issued a master password with [account recovery](https://bitwarden.com/help/account-recovery/).> > Members of organizations using [Key Connector](https://bitwarden.com/help/about-key-connector/) cannot change their email address.

First change the email address in Bitwarden by navigating to **Settings**β†’ **My account**([learn more](https://bitwarden.com/help/product-faqs/#q-how-do-i-change-my-email-address/)). 2. Once the email has been changed in Bitwarden, an administrator can change the user value on the directory. 3. Re-sync the directory to implement the changes.> [!NOTE] Changing the Bitwarden email in SCIM org> If the user email address is updated and synced on the IdP or AD prior to updating the Bitwarden email, the updated email will be interpreted as a new user.
