Player Setup (Provisioning)

Player name and description

Applying a Setup to a player using BSN.Cloud (via Admin > Provision using BrightAuthor:connected, bsn.cloud, or control.bsn.cloud) is known as provisioning.

Since most situations involve using BSN.Cloud to apply Setups to players, the term provisioning is often used to refer to the process of setting up a player.
