Automate with Confidence:
Manual processes not only slow things down but also introduce risk. Microsoft Entra ID offers a suite of tools to automate identity lifecycle management, helping organizations stay secure, compliant, and efficient.
Key Capabilities of Entra ID Lifecycle Management
1. Automated User Provisioning
Entra ID integrates with HR systems like Workday and SAP SuccessFactors, as well as SaaS apps like ServiceNow and Salesforce. When a new hire is added to the HR system, Entra ID can automatically create their account, assign licenses, and provision access to necessary apps—no manual steps required.
2. Group-Based Access Management
Dynamic groups allow you to assign users to groups based on attributes like department, location, or job title. These groups can then be used to control access to apps, resources, and policies. As user attributes change, group membership updates automatically.
3. Entitlement Management
With access packages, you can bundle resources (apps, groups, SharePoint sites) and define who can request access, how it’s approved, and when it expires. This is especially useful for contractors, partners, or cross-functional teams.
4. Lifecycle Workflows
New in Entra ID Governance, lifecycle workflows let you automate common tasks like sending welcome emails, assigning managers, or disabling accounts after termination.
Why It Matters
Security: Reduces the risk of orphaned accounts and over-provisioned users.
Efficiency: Frees up IT staff from repetitive tasks.
Compliance: Ensures access is granted and revoked in line with policies and audits.
Who Should Use It?
Organizations of all sizes benefit from lifecycle automation, but it’s especially valuable for those with high employee turnover, complex access needs, or regulatory requirements.
