## Prerequisites
- [ ] _HelloID_ on-prem Provisioning agent.
- [ ] _HelloID_ environment.
- [ ] Existing CSV file. HelloID **won't** create a new file if it doesn't exist.
- [ ] **Concurrent sessions** in HelloID set to a **maximum of 1**! Exceeding this limit may result in file locking.

## Remarks
- This connector is designed to support only one object per person. If there's a need for more objects per person or per contract of a person, adjustments should be made accordingly.

## Introduction

| [Export-CSV](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/export-csv) | Convert objects into a series of character-separated value (CSV) strings and saves the strings to a file |
