Identity lifecycle management at scale
Automate and simplify the identity and access lifecycle.
What is identity lifecycle management?
Identity lifecycle management is a set of tools and processes for keeping identities accurate and synchronized across systems. These processes include provisioning apps and managing user attributes and entitlements.
Provisioning is key to the identity lifecycle management process. It allows IT admins to create user identities and automate provisioning and maintenance as user status or roles change. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) provides automated provisioning from human resources (HR) apps to Azure AD, from Azure AD to apps, and between Azure AD and on-premises Active Directory domain services.

In Azure AD, “provisioning” refers to automatically creating user identities and roles based on certain conditions. In addition to creating user identities, automatic provisioning includes maintenance and removal or deprovisioning of user identities as status or roles change.
“Once we deployed Azure AD and set up automated provisioning, the onboarding process sped up significantly… We’ve realized a huge costs savings from this transition—about $500,000 per year in hard dollars, but tons of soft costs saved!”
