Automate employee offboarding tasks after their last day of work using Lifecycle Workflows APIs

This tutorial provides step-by-step guidance for configuring offboarding tasks for employees after their last day of work using Lifecycle workflows APIs in Microsoft Graph.

This post off-boarding scenario will run a scheduled workflow and accomplish the following tasks:

1. Remove all licenses for user
2. Remove user from all Teams
3. Delete user account

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need the following resources and privileges:

• Using this feature requires Microsoft Entra ID Governance licenses. To find the right license for your requirements, see Compare generally available features of Microsoft Entra.
• Sign in to an API client such as Graph Explorer, Postman, or create your own client app to call Microsoft Graph. To call Microsoft Graph APIs in this tutorial, you need to use an account with the Lifecycle Administrator or Global Administrator Microsoft Entra role.
• Grant yourself the following LifecycleWorkflows.ReadWrite.All delegated permission.
• Create a test user account that you'll use to represent an employee leaving your organization. This test user account will be deleted when the workflow runs. Assign licenses and Teams memberships to the test user account.

Create a "leaver" workflow

Request

The following request creates an offboarding workflow with the following settings:

• It can currently be run on-demand but not on schedule. This step will allow us to validate the workflow using the test user's account. The workflow will be updated to run on schedule later in this tutorial.
• The workflow runs seven days after the employee's employeeLeaveDateTime, and if they are in the "Marketing" department.
• Three workflow tasks are enabled to run in sequence: the user is unassigned all licenses, then removed from all teams, then their user account is deleted.

Run the workflow

Request

Because the workflow hasn't been scheduled to run, it must be run manually, on-demand. In the following request, the user for whom the workflow will run is identified by ID df744d9e-2148-4922-88a8-633896c1e929.

While you configured execution conditions for the workflow, this request to run the workflow on demand ignores the execution conditions. For example, if the user identified by ID df744d9e-2148-4922-88a8-633896c1e929 isn't in the "Marketing" department or their employeeLeaveDateTime is set to null, this command will still run the tasks that were defined in the workflow, for the user.

[Optional] Schedule the workflow to run automatically

After running your workflow on-demand and checking that everything is working fine, you may want to enable the workflow so that it can run automatically on a tenant-defined schedule. To enable the workflow schedule, you may run the following request.

HTTP

PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/identityGovernance/lifecycleWorkflows/workflows/15239232-66ed-445b-8292-2f5bbb2eb833

{
    "isEnabled": true,
    "isSchedulingEnabled": true
}

C#

var requestBody = new Workflow
{
	IsEnabled = true,
	IsSchedulingEnabled = true,
};

// To initialize your graphClient, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/sdks/create-client?from=snippets&tabs=csharp
var result = await graphClient.IdentityGovernance.LifecycleWorkflows.Workflows["{workflow-id}"].PatchAsync(requestBody);
