## How the application provisioning works {#azure-active-directory-integration-for-new-hire-onboarding__section_of4_k53_plb}

The application provisioning process works as follows. When an onboarding case is created, the hiring manager receives a task to assign business roles for the new hire. Once assigned, IT then receives a request to supervise the
provisioning of those applications. When the provisioning is complete, the new hire should see their applications in the Microsoft Entra ID service.  
Important:  
New hires must have a user record in the Microsoft Entra ID system in order for their applications to be provisioned to them.
