Provisioning a player consists of two steps:

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
# Player Registration

This enables access to BrightSign Control's free player setup and management tools.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
# Setup File Assignment

The assigned Setup File configures the required player settings.
:::
::::

:::hint{type="success"}
# HELPFUL TIP

In most cases, it is best to provision new players *prior* to powering up the player for the first time. When provisioned, the player will automatically configure itself per the assigned Setup File upon first bootup.

Players can be provisioned [individually](docId\:UqFxMUDz6_OwjdzjZelL4) or in [bulk (multiple players at once)](docId:0SB4SHwyEyDfrGuQJOi9Q).
