What is Azure AD :

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service, which helps your employees sign in and access resources in:

• External resources, such as Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications.
• Internal resources, such as apps on your corporate network and intranet, along with any cloud apps developed by your own organization. For more information about creating a tenant for your organization.

What is Dynamics 365 HR :

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources is a true software as a service (SaaS) that provides continuous, touchless service updates. These updates contain both application and platform changes that often provide critical improvements to the service, including regulatory updates.

2. Primary mobile phone
3. Worker Number should be available in Job Positions entity to fetch (Department, Job Title)

How to create a user in AD when new worker is hired

Below is the definition of Power Automate.

Demo 1 :

1. Login to Dynamics 365 HR
2. Hire a new worker with unique primary email address and must have a valid position

The first name is changed in Azure AD.

How to disable the user in AD group.

This is standard template available in Power automate to disable a user from all azure AD groups.

Demo 3:

1. Run the flow
2. Prerequisite’s to disable the user in Azure AD.

Primary Email Address

Based on the email address the worker details will be retrieved from a worker entity in CDS.

Click OK to run

1. Based on the email address the user details and user groups will be retrieved from Azure AD.
2. User will be disabled in Azure AD
3. User will be removed from all the associated groups in Azure AD
