workflow: activate

Namespace: microsoft.graph.identityGovernance

Run a workflow object on-demand. You can run any workflow on-demand, including scheduled workflows. Workflows created from the "Real-time employee termination" template are run on-demand only. When you run a workflow on demand, the tasks are executed regardless of whether the user state matches the scope and trigger execution conditions.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service	US Government L4	US Government L5 (DOD)	China operated by 21Vianet

Permissions

Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

Permission type	Least privileged permissions	Higher privileged permissions
Delegated (work or school account)	LifecycleWorkflows.Activate	LifecycleWorkflows.ReadWrite.All, LifecycleWorkflows.ReadWrite.Workflows
Delegated (personal Microsoft account)	Not supported.	Not supported.
Application	LifecycleWorkflows.Activate	LifecycleWorkflows.ReadWrite.All, LifecycleWorkflows.ReadWrite.Workflows

Important

In delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. Lifecycle Workflows Administrator is the least privileged role supported for this operation.
