User provisioning application in Jitterbit App Builder

Introduction

How to create a user provisioning application that allows front-end users to provision application access in a semi-automated fashion without having access to the App Builder IDE. This is an alternative if you do not have Okta or Azure managing application user access.

The example scenario uses a Unique ID for Username, but this can be an Email or other value as long as it is a unique value within App Builder. Troubleshooting techniques are also covered in this tutorial.
