LifeCycle Management

LifeCycle Management is a key element in the management of the M365 Tenants users. It allows automated user management based on Azure Active Directory Microsoft 365 security group membership. Users added to a security group will automatically be enabled for Microsoft Teams and will have policies and telephony settings like numbers applied based on the defined “persona” templates. Azure AD Security Group may represent a group of users on the M365 Tenants, as Site Members (HQ, Branch A unit or department where the template is tailored for the specific needs of the department or unit).

The lifecycle management feature is built upon the following three components. It is critical to configure the components in the ordershown below because the completion of the configuration for each component is dependent on the previous one:

1.

Configure unassigned number ranges, so numbers can be assigned to a template (see Managing Number Ranges).

2.

Configure templates, holding policies and telephony settings (see LifeCycle Management Templates).

3.

Bind templates to security groups (see Binding Templates to Security Groups).
