Lifecycle Workflow built-in tasks

  • Alt

Lifecycle Workflows come with many pre-configured tasks that are designed to automate common lifecycle management scenarios. These built-in tasks can be utilized to make customized workflows to suit your organization's needs. These tasks can be configured within seconds to create new workflows. These tasks also have categories based on the Joiner-Mover-Leaver model so that they can be easily placed into workflows based on need. In this article, you get the complete list of tasks, information on common parameters each task has, and a list of unique parameters needed for each specific task.

Supported tasks

Lifecycle Workflow's built-in tasks each include an identifier, known as taskDefinitionID, and can be used to create either new workflows from scratch, or inserted into workflow templates so that they fit the needs of your organization. For more information on templates available for use with Lifecycle Workflows, see: Lifecycle Workflow Templates.

Note

Lifecycle Workflows enhances Microsoft Entra ID Governance's HR-driven provisioning by automating routine processes. While HR provisioning manages the creation and attribute updates of user accounts, Lifecycle Workflows provide additional automation of tasks.

Lifecycle Workflows currently support the following tasks:

Common task parameters

Common task parameters are the non-unique parameters contained in every task. When adding tasks to a new workflow, or a workflow template, you can customize and configure these parameters so that they match your requirements.

Parameter Definition
category A read-only string that identifies the category or categories of the task. Automatically determined when the taskDefinitionID is chosen.
taskDefinitionId A string referencing a taskDefinition that determines which task to run.
isEnabled A boolean value that denotes whether the task is set to run or not. If set to “true" then the task runs. Defaults to true.
displayName A unique string that identifies the task.
description A string that describes the purpose of the task for administrative use. (Optional)
executionSequence A read-only integer that states in what order the task runs in a workflow.
continueOnError A boolean value that determines if the failure of this task stops the subsequent workflows from running.
arguments Contains unique parameters relevant for the given task.

Common email task parameters

Emails, sent from tasks, are able to be customized. If you choose to customize the email, you're able to set the following arguments:

  • Subject: Customizes the subject of emails.
  • Message body: Customizes the body of the emails being sent out.
  • Email language translation: Overrides the email recipient's language settings. Custom text isn't customized, and it's recommended to set this language to the same language as the custom text.

Screenshot of the customization email options.

For a step by step guide on this process, see: Customize emails sent out by workflow tasks.

Dynamic attributes within email

With customized emails, you're able to include dynamic attributes within the subject and body to personalize these emails. The list of dynamic attributes that can be included are as follows:

Attribute Definition
userDisplayName The user’s display name.
userEmployeeHireDate The user’s employee hire date.
userEmployeeLeaveDateTime The user’s employee leave date time.
managerDisplayName The display name of the user’s manager.
temporaryAccessPass The generated Temporary Access Pass. Only available with the Generate TAP And Send Email task.
userPrincipalName The user’s userPrincipalName.
managerEmail The manager’s email.
userSurname User’s family name.
userGivenName User’s first name.

Note

When adding these attributes to a customized email, or subject, they must be properly embedded. For a step by step guide on doing this, see: Format attributes within customized emails.

In this section is each specific task, and detailed information such as parameters and prerequisites, required for them to run successfully. The parameters are noted as they appear both in the Microsoft Entra admin center, and within Microsoft Graph. For information about editing Lifecycle Workflow tasks in general, see: Manage workflow Versions.

Generate Temporary Access Pass and send via email to user's manager

Microsoft Entra allows you to use a Temporary Access Pass (TAP) to set up password-less credentials for users. You can also use Microsoft Entra self-service password reset to set a regular password. With this task, Lifecycle workflows allow you to automatically generate a Temporary Access Pass (TAP), and have it sent to the new user's manager. You're also able to customize the email that is sent to the user's manager.

Note

The user's employee hire date is used as the start time for the Temporary Access Pass. Please make sure that the TAP lifetime task setting and the time portion of your user's hire date are set appropriately so that the TAP is still valid when the user starts their first day. If the hire date at the time of workflow execution is already in the past, the current time is used as the start time.

With this task in the Microsoft Entra admin center, you're able to give the task a name and description. You must also set:

  • Activation duration- How long the passcode is active.
  • One time use- If the passcode can only be used once. Screenshot of Workflows task: TAP task.

The Microsoft Entra prerequisites to run the Generate Temporary Access Pass and send via email to user's manager task are:

  • A populated manager attribute for the user.
  • A populated manager's mail attribute for the user.
  • The TAP tenant policy must be enabled and the selected values for activation duration and one time use must be within the allowed range of the policy. For more information, see Enable the Temporary Access Pass policy

Important

A user having this task run for them in a workflow must also not have any other authentication methods, sign-ins, or Microsoft Entra role assignments for this task to work for them.

For Microsoft Graph, the parameters for the Generate Temporary Access Pass and send via email to user's manager task are as follows:

Parameter Definition
category joiner
displayName GenerateTAPAndSendEmail (Customizable by user)
description Generate Temporary Access Pass and send via email to user's manager (Customizable by user)
taskDefinitionId 1b555e50-7f65-41d5-b514-5894a026d10d
arguments Argument contains the name parameter "tapLifetimeInMinutes", which is the lifetime of the temporaryAccessPass in minutes starting at startDateTime. Minimum 10, Maximum 43200 (equivalent to 30 days). The argument also contains the tapIsUsableOnce parameter, which determines whether the passcode is limited to a one time use. If true, the pass can be used once; if false, the pass can be used multiple times within the temporaryAccessPass lifetime. Additionally, the optional common email task parameters can be specified; if they aren't included, the default behavior takes effect.
