    How the application provisioning works

    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 Azure AD service.

    Important:
    New hires must have a user record in the Microsoft Azure AD system in order for their applications to be provisioned to them.
