Activating Multiple AD roles together with PIM
I have got users with multiple Azure AD roles and PIM has been enabled. Is there a way to activate PIM once which will then activate two or more roles at the same time or users have no choice that to...

you can use Privileged Access Groups feature:

Using PIM Groups requires you to have Permanent Assignments which does not follow security best practices. They are asking for how to activate daily multiple PIM roles at once....not just have it permanently assigned.

MSILinda thanks but no, in groups you can use both scenario (eligible and active). Regards!
- MSILindaAug 16, 2024Copper ContributorCorrect I didn't word that correctly. It allows you to make Eligible Assignments to Groups, but that does not solve this problem. This inquiry was how to activate multiple roles at once which you cannot bulk activate roles with groups. The only way to bulk activate roles for a user is through PowerShell.
- buenetreechFeb 03, 2024Copper ContributorHi,
We would like to combine the following Entra ID roles into one group so that the user is assigned all roles in one step:
- Global Reader
- Security Reader
- Attribut Assignment Reader
According to this link (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privileged-identity-management/concept-pim-for-groups#making-group-of-users-eligible-for-microsoft-entra-role), this needs to be done via step 2 (Make active assignment of a role to a group and assign users to be eligible to group membership) BUT the next paragraph states that this is not recommended with security-relevant groups (may take significant time). What is the best practices in my case?
Many thanks and regards, Daniel - Skywalker0077Nov 10, 2022Copper ContributorThanks. This is perfect
