The challenge

The identity team manually created accounts, assigned licenses, and built status reports by hand across AD and Microsoft 365. New-hire provisioning took days, reports were inconsistent, and critical scripts lived only on one engineer's laptop with no version control.

The approach

  1. 1

    Identified the highest-value, most error-prone manual tasks to automate first.

  2. 2

    Built a source-controlled PowerShell module on the Microsoft Graph SDK for provisioning and deprovisioning.

  3. 3

    Automated license assignment, group membership, and onboarding workflows.

  4. 4

    Created scheduled reports for stale accounts, MFA status, and privileged group membership.

  5. 5

    Secured automation with a certificate-based app registration and least-privilege Graph scopes.

The outcome

New-hire provisioning dropped from days to minutes, reporting became consistent and automatic, and the team's automation now lives in source control with documentation the whole team can maintain.
