Before Day One
Procure hardware with standard images, enroll in your MDM, and ship to the employee or office location. Pre-create the user in Entra ID with MFA enrollment as part of first login—never “we’ll add MFA later.” Assign Microsoft 365 licenses from a role-based group instead of hand-picking every Team.
First Week Access Pattern
Grant base productivity (email, Teams, file shares for their department) on day one. Defer broad SharePoint site membership until managers confirm project needs. Document exceptions; excessive permanent access is what auditors and insurers flag.
Partner With HR and Managers
Use a single ticket or workflow triggered by HRIS hire events so IT is not chasing Slack messages. Mirror the same rigor for contractors with end dates. Pair onboarding discipline with security awareness that sticks.
