AutoBoard

A Next.js application that automates employee onboarding by creating user accounts across both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 simultaneously. Streamline your IT onboarding process with a single form that provisions users in both platforms at once.

Features

  • Dual Platform Support: Create users in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 from one form
  • OAuth Integration: Secure authentication with both Google and Microsoft
  • License Management: Automatically assign Microsoft 365 licenses during user creation
  • Organizational Unit Selection: Optional OU placement for Google Workspace users (NEW)
  • Administrative Unit Assignment: Optional AU assignment for Microsoft Entra ID users (NEW)
  • Real-time License Tracking: View available Microsoft 365 licenses in the sidebar
  • Unified or Single Platform: Works with just one platform or both together
  • Automatic Password Generation: Creates secure temporary passwords for new users
  • Error Handling: Detailed error messages and partial success handling
  • Session Management: Automatic token refresh for uninterrupted operation
  • Session-Only Authentication: Automatic logout when browser closes for enhanced security

New Features

Google Workspace - Organizational Unit (OU) Selection

Optionally specify which Organizational Unit to place new users in:

  • Toggle to enable/disable: Hidden by default to avoid clutter
  • Custom OU path input: Enter paths like /Sales, /Engineering/Backend, etc.
  • Defaults to root: When disabled, users are placed in / (root OU)
  • Available in all modes: Works with unified and Google-only onboarding

How to use:

  1. Enable "Specify Google Workspace Organizational Unit" checkbox
  2. Enter the full OU path (e.g., /Marketing/EMEA)
  3. Ensure the OU exists in Google Workspace Admin Console

Microsoft Entra ID - Administrative Unit Assignment

Optionally assign new users to Administrative Units:

  • Toggle to enable/disable: Hidden by default
  • GUID-based selection: Enter the Administrative Unit ID from Entra ID
  • Post-creation assignment: User is added to AU after successful creation
  • Graceful error handling: Continues even if AU assignment fails

How to use:

  1. Create Administrative Units in Entra ID (Identity > Administrative units)
  2. Copy the Administrative Unit ID (GUID format)
  3. Enable "Assign to Administrative Unit (Entra ID)" checkbox
  4. Paste the AU ID

Required permission: AdministrativeUnit.ReadWrite.All

Getting Started

For full setup instructions, see the comprehensive README in the GitHub repository.

Quick start:

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser.

Integration Options

AutoBoard works great out of the box with its built-in Next.js API routes. For advanced automation needs, you can optionally integrate with n8n:

  • Built-in API (Recommended): OAuth-based authentication, integrated dashboard, simple deployment
  • n8n Integration (Optional): Visual workflow editor, 400+ pre-built integrations, execution history

See n8n-OPTIONAL.md for n8n setup instructions.

Security

  • Session-only cookies: Authentication expires when browser closes
  • 1-hour maximum session: Forces re-authentication after 1 hour
  • Automatic token refresh: Seamless background token renewal
  • Auto sign-out: Invalid sessions are automatically terminated
  • HTTP-only cookies: Protects against XSS attacks
