Project Overview

Hashcron Technologies required a centralised application to manage the full lifecycle of Microsoft 365 users — from onboarding and provisioning through to deactivation and licence reclamation. Using Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint Online, the solution automated user creation requests, approval workflows, account deactivation triggers, licence reallocation, and periodic access reviews — providing the IT team with a single interface for all user management tasks.

Client Requirements

  • Provide a centralised interface for IT to manage active and inactive Microsoft 365 users.
  • Automate new user provisioning requests with manager and IT approval workflows.
  • Trigger automated deactivation workflows when employees exit or change roles.
  • Track Microsoft 365 licence assignments and flag unused licences for reclamation.
  • Schedule and manage periodic access reviews — ensuring role-appropriate access is maintained.
  • Maintain a complete user status history in SharePoint for audit and compliance purposes.
  • Send automated notifications for provisioning completions, deactivations, and access review reminders.
  • Integrate with HR data to trigger user lifecycle events based on employment status changes.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1New user provisioning was handled manually via email — IT received inconsistent requests, account setup was delayed, and there was no formal approval trail confirming that access had been authorised by the appropriate manager.
SolutionBuilt a structured provisioning request workflow — requests are submitted via Power Apps with required details, routed through manager and IT approval, and only actioned after formal sign-off. Every provisioning action is logged in SharePoint.
Problem 2Departing employees often retained active Microsoft 365 accounts and licences for days or weeks after their exit — creating security vulnerabilities and unnecessary licence costs.
SolutionIntegrated automated deactivation triggers with HR data — when an employee exit is recorded, Power Automate initiates account deactivation, revokes group memberships, and flags the licence for reclamation. IT receives a confirmation notification upon completion.
Problem 3Microsoft 365 licence usage was not actively monitored — the organisation was paying for licences assigned to inactive or departed users, with no automated mechanism to identify and reclaim them.
SolutionDeveloped licence tracking and reclamation logic — the system monitors assigned licences against active user status. Unused licences are flagged automatically for IT review and reclamation, reducing unnecessary Microsoft 365 subscription costs.
