Provisioning Logs (AADProvisioningLogs)

Provisioning Logs Overview:

Azure provides a feature that allows identities to be created. This is called, identity provisioning.

Identity provisioning is the automated process of creating, managing, and deactivating user accounts and other digital identities within an organization's IT ecosystem. It ensures that users have the necessary access to applications and resources, whether on-premises or in the cloud, based on predefined conditions.

For example, when a new employee joins a company, their information is entered into the Human Resources (HR) system. Identity provisioning then automatically creates corresponding user accounts across various platforms, such as Active Directory, cloud applications like Microsoft Entra ID, and other necessary services. This process enables the employee to access required applications and systems from day one.

Identity provisioning can be categorized into several key scenarios:

  1. HR-Driven Provisioning: Automatically creates, updates, or disables user accounts based on changes in the HR system. For instance, when an employee is hired, their account is created across multiple platforms, or when they leave, their access is disabled.

  2. App Provisioning: Involves the creation and management of user identities and roles within cloud applications. For example, provisioning a Microsoft Entra user into applications like Dropbox or Salesforce as needed.

  3. Directory Provisioning: Refers to provisioning user accounts from on-premises sources, like Active Directory, into cloud directories such as Microsoft Entra ID.
