Automate onboarding & offboarding from Nmbrs to Active Directory

Nmbrs integrate with (Azure) Active Directory

Let IT automatically adapt to HR processes. New employees receive immediate access to the right systems, job changes are processed automatically, and upon termination, access is immediately revoked. This facilitates faster, more consistent onboarding and offboarding without manual steps.

  • Cloud-only (Entra ID) and Hybrid AD (Entra ID + on-premises)
  • ISO27001 & NIS2 compliant
  • Microsoft integration partner

Why would you integrate Nmbrs link with Active Directory via Joinly

Automate identity management with nmbrs

In many organisations, errors, delays, and security risks arise because HR systems and IT environments operate separately. With Joinly's HR ↔ Microsoft Entra ID integration, you can use your HR system as the central source for identity management. This way, accounts, roles, and access are automatically synchronised based on HR data, without manual actions.

  • Automatic onboarding, offboarding and changes

    New employees are automatically created in your Active Directory as soon as they are in Nmbrs . No tickets, no waiting times, and immediately productive from day one.

  • Better security & compliance

    Access is automatically adjusted with role changes and immediately revoked upon termination of employment. This helps prevent zombie accounts and makes it easier to comply with security and audit requirements.

  • Less management, more control

    IT no longer needs to manage manual accounts. Everything is handled centrally, predictably, and transparently via Joinly with logging, monitoring, and error handling.

  • Save on software costs

    Nothing is more annoying than paying for something you don't use. Joinly automatically deactivates accounts that are not used.

"We were able to move extremely quickly, and the flexibility of setting up the integration is a huge plus for us"

How does the integration work?

Four moments in an employment, the same pattern every time: Nmbrs leads and Joinly carries out the consequences.

  1. Onboard employee

    Employee is created in Nmbrs

    As soon as a new employee is created in Nmbrs , a new account is automatically created in Entra ID.

  2. Employee changes job title and/or department

    A position change in Nmbrs may affect the applications and/or rights that the employee has access to. The job change is automatically retrieved by Joinly and synchronized to Entra ID.

    • : From: HR Manager - To: Senior HR Manager
  3. Employee data is being modified

    Joinly retrieves the updated data from the HR-system and ensures that the changes are automatically applied to Entra ID.

    With Joinly workflows, you can link emails, notifications or ITSM-tooling to the employee cycles.

    • : From: HR Manager - To: Senior HR Manager
    • : From: Maaike Jansen - To: Maaike Jansen - de Weerd
  4. Offboard employee

    Employee leaves service

    When an employee leaves the company, they are automatically deactivated in Entra ID by Joinly to remove rights from applications and deactivate accounts.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about this integration

The questions IT managers considering this integration ask us most. If yours is not here, put it to us during the demo.

  • What does the integration between Nmbrs and (Azure) Active Directory do?

    Joinly uses Nmbrs as the source and (Azure) Active Directory as the destination. When someone joins in Nmbrs, Joinly creates the account in (Azure) Active Directory and puts the right groups and permissions on it. When the job changes, the permissions move with it. When someone leaves, the account is deactivated. Nothing for you to do, and nothing for you to remember.

  • Does this work if we are not cloud-only yet?

    That is exactly what it is for. Joinly reaches your on-premises Active Directory through the Joinly Agent: a lightweight service in your own network that connects outbound. No inbound port has to be opened and no VPN is needed. Hybrid organisations get the same automation as cloud-only customers.

  • What does Joinly write into (Azure) Active Directory?

    The AD account in the right OU, with name, UPN, email address, employee number, manager and whichever attributes you put in the mapping, plus membership of your on-premises groups. On a hybrid Exchange, Joinly can create the remote mailbox as well.

  • How does Joinly decide which permissions someone gets?

    From roles, not from a per-person list. You record once which roles belong to which job, department or location, and which access items sit inside those roles — groups, licences, applications, folders. A role change in Nmbrs makes Joinly recalculate: what belongs is added, what no longer belongs is removed.

  • Can we drive Microsoft Entra ID alongside this?

    Yes. The same source in Nmbrs can feed both your on-premises Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. Joinly reaches Entra ID directly over Microsoft Graph, with its own app registration in your tenant.

  • How quickly does a change in Nmbrs show up in (Azure) Active Directory?

    That is yours to set with the import schedule: hourly, daily or weekly, at a time you choose. As soon as the import lands, Joinly works out the consequences and provisioning to (Azure) Active Directory can run straight after it. An overnight import means, in practice, that the account is ready the next morning.

  • What exactly happens when someone leaves?

    On the date from Nmbrs, Joinly revokes the access: the account in (Azure) Active Directory is switched off, group memberships and permissions lapse, and connected applications are taken along. Whatever else has to happen — releasing a licence, converting the mailbox to shared, informing the manager — is arranged as a workflow, so it is part of the same process instead of a loose task.

  • Will Joinly touch our existing accounts in (Azure) Active Directory?

    Not unasked. Joinly first imports what is in (Azure) Active Directory and matches those accounts to the employees from Nmbrs. Existing accounts are recognised and adopted rather than created twice; which matching strategy applies — person identifier, employee number or UPN — is yours to choose. Accounts that are not employees, such as service accounts, can be filtered out of the integration.

  • Can we try it without risk first?

    Yes. You run the import as a dry run and get an Excel export of exactly what would happen, without anything being written. A threshold then keeps protecting you: if the source delivers more new, activated or deactivated employees in one run than you allowed, Joinly blocks the run.

  • What do we need to get started?

    Access to your Nmbrs environment for the employee data, and the Joinly Agent on a server in your own network. It only connects outbound, so there is no inbound firewall rule to open and no VPN to set up.

  • Is the integration secure, and can we prove it afterwards?

    Joinly is ISO27001-certified. Every change is recorded, so per employee you can look back at which access was granted when, on the basis of which role, and when it was revoked again. That is precisely what an auditor or a NIS2 assessment asks of you.

  • What does this integration cost?

    The integration is part of the subscription — you pay per account per month, not per connector or per target system. The pricing page shows what the plans cost and what each one includes.

More about Nmbrs

Nmbrs integration with Joinly: automation of user management

Many organizations use Nmbrs as a central HR and payroll system. The platform contains all crucial employee data, but without a connection to your IT environment, a tangle of manual processes quickly arises.

The challenges without integration

When Nmbrs is disconnected from your applications, HR and IT encounter the same problems:

  • New employees unnecessarily wait for access to applications

  • Accounts are still created via Excel or separate requests

  • Departed employees sometimes retain access longer than desirable

  • HR data and IT accounts are not synchronized, leading to errors and risks

This leads to delays, increased workload, and a greater chance of data breaches.

How Joinly solves this

With the Nmbrs integration from Joinly, user management is fully automated. As soon as HR makes a change in Nmbrs – for example, a hiring, position change, or termination – Joinly automatically processes this information in all connected applications.

Benefits of the Nmbrs integration

  • New employees gain immediate access to the right systems

  • HR changes are automatically and error-free implemented

  • Accounts of former employees are safely and timely removed

  • HR takes the lead, IT no longer needs to perform manual actions

This transforms an error-prone process into a streamlined workflow where HR and IT collaborate from one reliable source. The result: higher efficiency, better security, and faster onboarding.

Curious how the Nmbrs integration with Joinly helps your organization simplify user management and reduce risks? With Joinly, you take the step towards safe, error-free, and future-proof Identity & Access Management.
