Microsoft Entra API-driven inbound user provisioning

Now with API-driven inbound provisioning, the Microsoft Entra provisioning service now supports integration with any system of record. Customers and partners can use any automation tool of their choice to retrieve workforce data from the system of record and ingest it into Microsoft Entra ID.

The IT admin has full control on how the data is processed and transformed with attribute mappings. Once the workforce data is available in Microsoft Entra ID, the IT admin can configure appropriate joiner-mover-leaver business processes using Lifecycle Workflows.
