Hello everyone,

I have been searching for some solution regarding automatization process for user account offboarding. For example, when using Hybrid environment with Administrative account permissions for Azure tenant (domain onmicrosoft.com accounts) , when my user leaves organization i can restrict him from accessing domain-based company resources, but for Azure accounts i need to do it manually. So i was wondering if there is some solution that will automatically remove users when they are offboarded from company?

Thank you for your time,

Best Regards.

[@Vasilije Djurovic](https://learn.microsoft.com/users/na/?userid=8cad8006-1273-409a-a011-d72b73d7c115) Thank you for reaching out to us, Did you get a chance to review this feature in Microsoft Entra ID - [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/what-are-lifecycle-workflows](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/what-are-lifecycle-workflows)

Lifecycle workflows are a new identity governance feature that enables organizations to manage Microsoft Entra users by automating these three basic lifecycle processes:

-   **Joiner**: When an individual enters the scope of needing access. An example is a new employee joining a company or organization.
-   **Mover**: When an individual moves between boundaries within an organization. This movement might require more access or authorization. An example is a user who was in marketing and is now a member of the sales organization.
-   **Leaver**: When an individual leaves the scope of needing access. This movement might require the removal of access. Examples are an employee who's retiring or an employee who's terminated.

Hope this feature helps in achieving your end goal, let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
