Value statement

Simplify user lifecycle management with automated provisioning

Connect Bob to Microsoft Active Directory in hybrid environments. Lifecycle events in Bob trigger provisioning through Microsoft Entra ID, which creates, updates, and disables user accounts in on-prem Active Directory.

What this integration does:

• Automatic provisioning: Create new AD user accounts when new hires join your organization.
• Real-time updates: Sync updates to employee details, job titles, and managers directly from Bob to AD.
• Seamless offboarding: Automatically deactivate user accounts in AD when employees leave or go on leave.
• Hybrid support: Supports hybrid Active Directory environments using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

How it works:

Bob sends authoritative identity data to Microsoft Entra ID using Microsoft’s API-based provisioning model. Entra ID evaluates lifecycle events and applies changes to your on-prem AD through Microsoft’s Provisioning Agent.

Short company description and USP

Microsoft Active Directory (AD) is a leading identity and access management platform that enables organizations to manage users, devices, and permissions across on-prem and hybrid environments. As part of Microsoft’s identity ecosystem, AD works alongside Microsoft Entra ID to deliver secure authentication, centralized directory services, and enterprise-grade access control.

Through Microsoft’s API-driven inbound provisioning model, changes from trusted systems automatically flow into Microsoft Entra ID and connected on-prem Active Directory domains. This modern architecture eliminates legacy synchronization methods and aligns with Microsoft’s secure, cloud-native identity framework.

By integrating Bob with Microsoft Active Directory, lifecycle updates in Bob automatically trigger provisioning actions across your hybrid directory environment, ensuring identity data remains accurate, secure, and aligned between HR and IT systems.

Key features:

• API-driven lifecycle provisioning aligned with Microsoft Entra ID
• Automated account creation, updates, and deactivation in on-prem Active Directory
• Hybrid provisioning using the Microsoft Entra Provisioning Agent
