# Before you begin

> What to have in place before setting up Cimento: a directory source, the admins who own each tool, and pilot groups.

Cimento provisions your tenant and your first administrator account during onboarding. Everything below is configured from the Cimento admin console under **Admin → Integrations**.

## Where setup happens

Integrations are grouped by what they connect:

| Section | Cards | Used by |
| - | - | - |
| Identity & directory | Employee data, Sync exclusions | Every product area |
| Delivery channels | Phishing, Messaging & SMS | Phishing simulations and notifications |

Each card opens a step-by-step wizard. Progress is saved between steps, so one person can start a wizard and the owner of the vendor console can finish it. Every tool also has a follow-along guide under [Integrations](/integrations/overview).

<Note>
  If a card you expect is missing for your tenant, ask your Cimento contact to enable it.
</Note>

## Checklist

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose a directory source">
    Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace. You will need an administrator of that system to connect it. See [Employee directory](/getting-started/employee-directory).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Line up tool owners">
    Each tool needs someone who administers it, such as your Google Workspace Super Admin or Microsoft Entra Global Administrator. The [Who you will need](/integrations/overview#who-you-will-need) table lists the role for each.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick pilot groups">
    A small group of employees for the first phishing campaign, and a small audience for the first training campaign.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Cimento does not need

Cimento never asks for the password of a Google, Microsoft or Okta administrator account. Instead, you authorize Cimento's own service account or application in your admin console, with only the permissions listed on the relevant page.
