Automatically provision relevant applications for new hires as part of the onboarding
process with the Microsoft Azure AD integration. This integration requires the Microsoft Azure AD spoke in IntegrationHub, and is configured to work with the
lifecycle event for new hire onboarding that is included as demo data with the Human Resources
Scoped App: Lifecycle Events for Enterprise \[com.sn_hr_lifecycle_ent\] plugin.

## Setting up the Microsoft Azure AD integration {#azure-active-directory-integration-for-new-hire-onboarding__section_bct_bnd_llb}

To set up the Microsoft Azure AD integration for new hire onboarding, you must
first set up the Microsoft Azure AD spoke, next configure the remote directory
sync to fetch the groups into your instance, and last configure the relevant business roles. For
details on how to set up the integration, see [Set up the Microsoft Azure AD integration for new hire onboarding](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/mEPYbJu_w~OMmE_ivuJA5g "To set up the Microsoft Azure AD integration for new hire onboarding, you must first set up the Microsoft Azure AD spoke, next configure the remote directory sync to fetch the groups into your instance, and last configure the required business roles.").

## 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 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.
