Automatic user provisioning and deprovisioning now available for more apps!
Howdy folks,
Our customers have been successfully utilizing the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) user provisioning service for years. This service enables automated, policy-based provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts to a variety of popular SaaS applications, including ones that implement the SCIM 2.0 standard. Unlike traditional provisioning solutions, which require on-premises infrastructure and custom code, the provisioning service is hosted in the cloud, and features pre-integrated connectors that can be set up and managed using the Azure portal.
Check out this video from Aaron Smalser explaining the benefits you get from using the Azure AD user provisioning service:
This service currently manages over 30 million user identities stored across various SaaS apps and Microsoft services. Since this time last year, weve seen nearly 100 percent growth in the number of Azure AD tenants using automated user provisioning for at least one SaaS app. With all of this usage, customers frequently ask us to provision and deprovision user accounts to more of the SaaS applications they use.
New apps supported
Today, were pleased to announce automatic user provisioning support for these popular apps:
To learn more about how to get started with automatic provisioning for each of these apps, simply click the links above.
Whats more, you can watch this newly published video for a quick demo of user provisioning. It shows you how to set up user provisioning for a cloud application. You can also use our newly published performance guidance to forecast how long it will take for user provisioning to complete in your environment.
Were always working to enable user provisioning for more cloud applications. If you have a SaaS app for which youd like to see automatic user provisioning, then choose one of these options:
- If you are a customer using the application, file and track your request at: Azure AD customer application requests.
- If you are the application developer, file and track your request at: Azure AD developer application requests.
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements regarding the Azure AD user provisioning service.
