## Where to go next

After reviewing the getting started materials:

1. **Configure Integrations**: Enable your identity sources and target applications for LCM. See [Integrations](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/lifecycle-management/integrations.md).
2. **Set Up Identities**: View and manage identities from your configured sources. See [Identities](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/lifecycle-management/identities-overview/identities.md).
3. **Create Access Profiles**: Define birthright entitlements for user segments. See [Access Profiles](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/lifecycle-management/profiles.md).
4. **Build Policies**: Automate JML workflows with conditions and actions. See [Policies](/4yItIzMvkpAvMVFAamTf/features/lifecycle-management/policies-workflows/policies.md).
