Track User Management Events In Your Microsoft 365 Tenant

In every Microsoft 365 tenant, user accounts are constantly being created, updated, deleted, enabled, or restored—especially in dynamic organizations with regular onboarding, offboarding, and role changes. These are referred to as Microsoft 365 user management actions, and they form a critical part of your tenant’s identity and access lifecycle.

These actions are recorded in audit logs and can be retrieved using Microsoft Graph PowerShell, allowing you to monitor and report on key account-level events that impact your environment’s security, compliance, and operational integrity.

Why Tracking Microsoft 365 User Management Events Is Necessary

Tracking user management events helps administrators:

• Detect unauthorized or unexpected changes to user accounts
• Audit key lifecycle events such as user creation, deletion, or restoration
• Ensure compliance with HR or IT policies
• Verify automation tasks like auto-provisioning or scheduled account disablement
• Gain visibility into account changes made by admins or automated systems

To make this easier, M365Corner provides ready-to-use scripts that let you query and track user management events directly using Graph PowerShell.
