Microsoft Entra ID Identity Lifecycle Management, Automated.
Automate user provisioning, access reviews, and conditional access policies in Microsoft Entra ID with deterministic workflows your IT team owns.
Describe It in English.
It Runs Deterministically.
Overview
Sync employee lifecycle events from HR to Entra ID; auto-provision or deprovision accounts; update group memberships and conditional access policies based on role changes.
Execution Steps
Sync HR Lifecycle Events
- Detect new hires, role changes, and terminations from the HRIS in real time
- Map each event to the corresponding Entra ID provisioning or deprovisioning action
Provision or Update Identity
- Create Entra ID accounts for new hires with the correct group memberships and license assignments
- For role changes, update group memberships and application assignments to match the new role
Deprovision and Audit
- For terminations, disable the Entra ID account, revoke active sessions, and remove license assignments
- Log every identity change to the audit trail and generate a monthly access governance report

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) automation questions.
What can I automate with Kognitos and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)?
Joiner-mover-leaver (JML) workflows, group membership reconciliation, access reviews, license assignment based on role, conditional-access policy exceptions, and break-glass approval routing. Kognitos reads HR or ITSM source-of-truth records, applies your IAM policy in plain English, and updates Entra ID and downstream apps deterministically.
How does Kognitos connect to Microsoft Entra ID?
Through the Microsoft Graph API using a registered application in Entra ID. You grant Kognitos the specific scopes you need (User.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.Read.All, etc.), and SSO for the Kognitos console can be configured via SAML or OIDC against the same Entra ID tenant.
Can Kognitos enforce least-privilege and SoD policies when updating Entra ID?
Yes. Your written rules express policy directly ("only members of Finance-Admins can be added to AP-Approvers and never both AP-Approvers and AP-Receivers"). Kognitos enforces those rules deterministically at run time and logs every change with the requesting user, the original rule, and the source ticket, perfect for SoX and ISO 27001 evidence.
How is Entra ID credential material protected?
Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II. The app registration uses certificate-based authentication or client-secret stored in a managed secret store; tokens never leave the Kognitos cloud. Optional Conditional Access policies and IP allow-lists scope where the Kognitos app can call Graph from.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Microsoft Entra ID integration?
Book a demo. We'll help you register the Kognitos app in your tenant, consent to the right Graph scopes, and ship a JML or access-review automation written in plain English during the session.
