Best Approach for Offboarding via a custom app.
Hey ADManager Plus community!
I need your advice on the best practices for offboarding employees using ADManager Plus with 3rd party app. I want to trigger the process ASAP through a custom app we're building. I want to trigger an off-boarding orchestration (via automation) No waiting around for a 1-hour CSV import.
Goal :
Custom app on/off boarding app that a manager fills out and HR acknowledges. HR has a meeting with employee and terminates the employment. HR would then click a button to activate the termination. This kicks off the orchestration via "something"..
Our current manual process (not using admanager plus yet):
Our current manual process (not using admanager plus yet):
- Email to helpdesk by HR to term employee immediately.
- Tech changes password (Manager might have someone review docs and use device for various reasons).
- Tech converts to shared mailbox
- Tech gives access to mailbox to manager and/or another dept user
- Tech removes licenses from m365
- Tech (typically forgets) to remove user from groups
- 60-180 disables and days moves user into terminated employees OU
What I'm looking for is the best approach to connect kick this process off.
- Event Automation : I know there is automations based on Events, but does that only work if the event of changing a group or attribute occurs in ad manager plus UI? If my app adds a user to a AD Group called Terminated Employee's, would an automation looking for that event work, would it start immediately in admanager plus?
- API Call : I don't see a way to start an automation / orchestration directly, but if I added a user to a group like above example, via api call, would that kick of my event automation / orchestration?
These are the only 2 ways I can think something externally might kick off and automation? Unclear if it would work.
