Grant Just-in-Time Admin Access with Microsoft Entra PIM

In my lab, I worked with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to grant Just-in-Time admin access. Instead of permanent assignments, users become eligible for roles and must activate them only when needed.

Steps I tested:

- Configured roles as eligible rather than permanent

- Required MFA and approval for role activation

- Verified access automatically expired after the time window

This approach reduces standing privileges and aligns with Zero Trust by securing privileged access.

Curious — does your org still keep permanent Global Admins, or have you moved to JIT with PIM?
