It all begins and ends with an Identity! Before the users and their devices can be managed, they need to be onboarded and provisioned with their user account. This is where Microsoft Entra Provisioning API and Lifecycle Workflows in Entra ID Governance enters the scene. By automating scenarios for Joiner, Mover and Leaver we can set up templates and tasks that for example automatically sends out a Temporary Access Pass for new hires which they can use for first time setting up their account and device to be securely managed! We can even implement custom tasks and extensions via Azure Logic Apps, that can trigger other APIs or even something you've built in Azure Functions! Learn how to use these lifecycle templates and customize tasks with serverless solutions in this awesome deep dive workshop where automation black belt Jan Vidar will share his best tips and tricks for implementing a successful Identity Governance that supports a seamless and automated user on- and offboarding!

This technical and demo-heavy session will look into the public preview of the Graph resource support from Bicep, and compare usage scenarios to those already available via Terraform. We will look into how to combine traditional Azure resource deployments together with Entra ID and Graph API resources, moving even more deployment scenarios to declarative infrastructure-as-code, both for local deployment and for DevOps pipelines or actions.

Join me for a technical deep dive into building effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions using Microsoft Entra. We look into key IAM scenarios, including Identity Governance & Lifecycle Workflows, Access Management, and Secure Application Access, while highlighting Entra’s capabilities such as Conditional Access, Identity Protection, and Entitlement Management. Participants will gain insights into implementing these technologies to enhance security, streamline user experiences, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards and common security frameworks like Zero Trust.
