A process flow showing HR data from Workday or SuccessFactors synchronizing into Microsoft Entra ID, which triggers Lifecycle Workflows for Joiner, Mover, and Leaver events that automatically provision, update, and deprovision user access.
User Lifecycle Automation
Managing the identity lifecycle in Azure follows the Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) pattern, which ensures users have the correct access from their first day and lose it immediately when they leave. Organizations use HR-driven provisioning to synchronize data from authoritative sources such as Workday or SuccessFactors directly into Microsoft Entra ID, reducing manual errors. Lifecycle Workflows then trigger specific tasks based on employment milestones, such as granting a new hire access to a team mailbox or removing access when an employee is terminated.
