During a new hire's first morning, HR submits a ticket requesting the IT department to create the employee's Active Directory account, add them to the required security groups, and provision an email mailbox and VPN access. Which business process normally triggers this set of user-account and access-rights actions within an organization's systems?
The onboarding process initiates user provisioning. When an employee joins a company, onboarding workflows tell IT or an identity-management platform to create the person's accounts, place them in the correct groups, and grant least-privilege access needed for their role. Offboarding performs the reverse-disabling or removing accounts when someone departs. Maintenance refers to routine system upkeep, and role changes modify existing permissions but do not start the initial account-creation sequence.
