This is amazing. I have a question, what permissions does the agent needs on Entra ID as its acting on behalf of a human. and how does that permissions model work.

    Hi vj23,

    We are working through this for a customer project. The agent is acting on behalf of the signed in human reviewer which requires Delegated Permissions. 

    1. The agent operates with the context and permissions of the signed-in user (the reviewer)
    2. The agent cannot perform actions beyond what the human reviewer is authorized to do
    3. All decisions remain with the human reviewer
      • The agent provides recommendations but doesn't make final access decisions
