Configure the arguments for built-in Lifecycle Workflow tasks
The Lifecycle Workflows API in Microsoft Graph enables you to automate basic lifecycle processes for your users at three levels: Joiner, Leaver, and Mover. Core to the workflows is tasks that represent the specific actions that run automatically when a workflow is triggered.
Microsoft Graph supports 24 built-in tasks that you can use to create your custom workflows. Each task has a set of arguments that are allowed for that task. For example, a task to generate a temporary access pass (TAP) for a user allows you to configure the lifetime of the TAP and whether the user can reuse it. A task to add a user to a group requires you to specify the groups to which you want to add the user. This configuration is made on the arguments property of a task.
This article provides guidance on the allowed configuration for the arguments property of tasks in Lifecycle Workflows.
