Users of organizations use many different third-party applications. The organizations use the services of a server to manage and interact with the third-party applications. In particular, the server provides a user lifecycle API that defines a set of user lifecycle events corresponding to changes of the users with respect to their organizations and/or the third-party applications that they use within the organizations. The server further has access to lifecycle code modules corresponding to the different third-party applications and defining how those third-party applications will respond to the user lifecycle events. When a user lifecycle event occurs for a particular user of a particular organization, the server determines the third-party applications to which the organization has given the user access uses the appropriate functionality of the lifecycle code modules of the corresponding third-party applications to implement the appropriate user changes for those applications.

An on-premise software application ('OPA') is communicated with according to an action received from outside a firewall. The action concerns user account information maintained by the OPA. The OPA is installed on a device located inside the firewall. The action is received from a management server located outside the firewall. The action includes a portion that adheres to a standardized format. An OPA interface request is generated based on the action. The OPA interface request includes the standardized portion. The OPA interface request is sent to an agent/OPA interface.
