Microsoft Entra Permissions Management AMA
Event details
Earlier this month we announced the general availability of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management! We are very excited to announce our Microsoft Entra Permissions Management AMA session!
An AMA is a live text-based online event similar to a “YamJam” on Yammer or an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. This AMA gives you the opportunity to connect with Microsoft product experts who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback.
Feel free to post your questions about Entra Permissions Management anytime in the comments below beforehand, if it fits your schedule or time zone better, though questions will not be answered until the live hour.

When I try to run the script, I get bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline', what am I doing wrong?
Never mind, I got it working

I'm glad to see Entra Permissions Management is now available for 90-day trial in Europe, that's great news! However do we have any more information on pricing? Specifically will this be a stand alone license and what is the cost, or, will this be included in E5/A5 tiers of licenses?
- Sayan ChakrabortyOccasional ReaderIt is a standalone license and the cost is approx 11 $/user/month. https://aka.ms/TryPermissionsManagement
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi! Yes, Permissions Management is available as a standalone solution priced at $125 per resource, per year. To start a free 90 day trial and run a risk assessment across your multicloud environment, visit https://aka.ms/TryPermissionsManagement.

UK based here, so will I need to do a dollar to pound conversion or will it be £125 per resource as well? Also how is a "resource" defined in this context?
- Trevor_RusherCommunity ManagerWelcome to the Microsoft Entra Permissions Management Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA)! This live hour gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly to the Microsoft team. Please post any questions in a separate, new comment thread. Thanks!
- Derk_van_der_WoudeCopper ContributorWhere to ask for support (and maybe to verify if it's really available in West Europe?). Tried 3 different tenants to onboard but after the license it resulted in errors, re-logon again only errors.
- Derk_van_der_WoudeCopper ContributorThe offer that you want is unavailable. This might be caused by one of the following reasons: - The offer has expired. - The service is not available in your country or region. - You cannot sign up for the same trial a second time.
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi! To file a support ticket, please visit: https://entra.microsoft.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Support/NewSupportRequestV3Blade/callerName/ActiveDirectory/issueType/technical
- Dean_GrossSilver Contributorwhere can we find a roadmap of planned improvements and time frames?
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftWe’ll continue to offer roadmap updates via proper channels once they become available!
- Dean_GrossSilver Contributorthis is the proper channel, https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/?query=entra and it does not have anything
- Dean_GrossSilver Contributoron the Inventory page, it shows Azure (97), which looks like the total number of vms, network interfaces, NSGs, Network watchers, vaults, servers, dbs and sites. Does this mean the monthly bill will be $150x97?
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi Dean! Permissions Management is a standalone offering priced at $125 per license per year (or $10.40 per license per month). You can access your onboarded resource counts via the licensing page! Licenses will be assigned per resource. Resources include compute resources, container clusters, serverless functions and databases, and are supported across AWS, Azure and GCP.
- Yegor_LopatinCopper Contributorlauraviarengo, I think the initial question is where to see the total amount of the resources. Price per resource is clear, what is considered as a resource is also clear, but where to see the total number of resources?
- faruk2bd1971Brass ContributorHello; The question I raise on behalf of my client. Cx want to enable MFA or duel authentication for RDP ; I mean when Cx try to login his all Remote servers ( On premise ) - He wants that all user's/admin will go through dual authentication process. Can Microsoft Entra help on this solution? Thanks in Advance,
- DanourcloudnetworkIron ContributorYou can try https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension-rdg! Personally, we are an MSP that uses Duo (3rd Party) 😉
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi! This is not part of the Entra Permissions Management solution. Within Entra, Azure AD can support on- premise MFA through NPS Extension: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension-rdg

1. Will Permissions Management ever be able to automate Principle of Least Privilege for Global Administrators that are not yet associated with a Subscription or have access to a resource? Certain global administrators are not showing up in CloudKnox.
2. Is it possible to configure what is deemed “Over-provisioned”, to be stricter? Like setting exceptions for all Global Administrator that can set Access management to all resources enabled?
3. Will onboarding mode set to: Automatically Manage, change existing permissions for Azure Resources? Is there any risk to current assigned permissions?
4. Will it be possible to change the option for deletion of a configuration instead of OTP (since the default receiver does not have a mailbox)
5. At what date is the official launch for Permissions Management (end of PREVIEW)?
6. Despite being signed up for trial in EU and it being active, it is not showing in the Entra portal. I could however force our tenant to be onboarded with the following link https://c16.app.ciem.cloudknox.io/tenant/onboard . Permissions Management is still not showing up in Entra or in Azure AD highlights.
- Nick_WryterMicrosoft
Hello! Thanks for the questions.
1. Currently Entra Permissions Management looks at the permissions assignment in the subscriptions. Support for Azure AD roles is in future roadmap.
2. Currently, we do not have configurations for “Over-provisioned” since we calculate permissions creep index (PCI) scores by what we see in your environments measured by high, medium or low risk. You can exclude the Global Administrators from the overall permission creep index by tagging “exclude_from_pci”.
3. There are two types are onboarding, controller enabled or disabled. With controller disabled mode, you can assign Read-Only permissions. With controller mode enabled, admin can choose to remediate the over-privilege identities, create new roles from the Entra Permissions Management console.
4. The option of deletion cannot be changed as we use the OTP mechanism as a step to ensure consent of deletion. You will need to ensure the Global Admin or admin of Entra Permissions Management under User Management require an email account.
5. Official launch: July 7th, 2022. Public preview has ended, all accounts onboarded to public preview will go offline on October 7th, 2022. You can sign up for a trial license to continue using the product in a trial manner https://aka.ms/TryPermissionsManagement
6. Can you access the link directly https://pm.cloudknox.io ? If you still see the issue, please open a support ticket.

Thank you for taking the time to reply to all my questions. Yes I can access the PM CloudKnox and the link you mentioned. The Permissions Management shortcut in the Entra portal, however, is missing. When I used the link that i posted ending with /onboard, my tenant was automatically onboarded within seconds (without me actually having to Enable PM or perform any PowerShell actions). Is this by design?
- Jhaas237Copper Contributor
Hello, What does Microsoft Entra do to protect against:
1. Session cookie theft
2. MiTM attacks like EvilNginx.
And what if a user gets compromised?
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi Joeri! Permissions Management does not cover these use-cases, I would recommend taking a look at the Entra portfolio to learn more: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/
- Jhaas237Copper ContributorThank you for your answer. I was hoping the new identity product remediate those 2 big treats for MS identity.
- Dean_GrossSilver ContributorHow should we provide feedback? the normal azure feedback options are not available in EPM
- lauraviarengoMicrosoftHi! You can provide feedback via a support ticket: https://entra.microsoft.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Support/NewSupportRequestV3Blade/callerName/ActiveDirectory/issueType/technical
