2. From the User Selection list, select User plus SaaS User or User only.
3. If you select User plus SaaS User and you have multiple instances of the same SaaS application, select the application from the SaaS Selection list. If you have a single instance of the SaaS application, skip this step.
4. From the installation type list, select Cloud.
5. From the Credentials list, select your credentials.
6. From the Integration Preferences list, select Update only.
