Can I configure HR-driven provisioning via a created enterprise application?

Question

Hi, we've been trying to configure HR driven provisioning to Microsoft Entra ID. I know that there are existing connectors for Workday and SuccessFactors provided by Microsoft. I'm also aware of the API-driven inbound provisioning.

What I mainly want to know is, can we develop our own custom connector similar to the Workday/SuccessFactors connector to provision identities FROM our HR system INTO Entra ID? Is this possible right now or is the provided bulkUpload API the way to go?

@Devishke de Silva Thank you for reaching out to us, As I understand you would like to know whether can we develop our own custom connector similar to the Workday/SuccessFactors connector to provision identities FROM our HR system INTO Entra ID?

At this point of time, custom connector is not possible, only option to provision users to Entra ID is via Inbound API - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/app-provisioning/inbound-provisioning-api-configure-app

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
