Entra Risky Users Custom Role
My customer implemented unified RBAC (Defender Portal) and removed the Entra Security Operator role. They lost the ability to manage Risky Users in Entra. Two options explored by the customer - Protected Identity Administrator role (licensing unclear) or create a custom role with microsoft.directory/identityProtection/riskyUsers/update, which they couldn't find under custom role. Do you know if there are other options to manage Risky Users without using the Security Operator role?Request to enable preview feature - Face Check with CAP
Dear Microsoft, I am on a business premium plan for my home test tenant. I cannot raise ticket nor do I have an account manager. I know this is in private preview. I would like my tenant to be enabled to test this new Verified ID feature to have "Face Check" in CAP as one of the Grant conditions. tenant id: bc85b508-0107-4472-a49c-fc8cefd4f0d7 Thank you.Entra Verified ID: CAP Preview Feature to require Face Check
During one of the MS demo video, I saw a preview feature for Conditional Access Policy to require "Face Check". I have now enabled Entra Verified ID and also switched on Face Check. When I create a new CAP, I do not see the "Require Face Check" option under the Grant. How can I request to have this feature released to my tenant? Thanks!
Can External ID (CIAM) federate to an Azure AD/Entra ID tenant using SAML?
What I'm trying to achieve I'm setting up SAML federation FROM my External ID tenant (CIAM) TO a partner's Entra ID tenant (regular organizational tenant) for a hybrid CIAM/B2B setup where: Business users authenticate via their corporate accounts (OIDC or SAML) Individual customers use username/password or social providers (OIDC) Tenant details / Terminology: CIAM tenant: External ID tenant for customer-facing applications IdP tenant: Example Partner's organizational Entra ID tenant with business accounts Custom domain: mycustomdomain.com (example domain for the IdP tenant) Configuration steps taken Step 1: IdP Tenant (Entra ID) - Created SAML App Set up Enterprise App with SAML SSO Entity ID: https://login.microsoftonline.com/<CIAM_TENANT_ID>/ Reply URL: https://<CIAM_TENANT_ID>.ciamlogin.com/login.srf NameID: Persistent format Claim mapping: emailaddress → user.mail Step 2: CIAM Tenant (External ID) - Added SAML IdP (Initially imported from the SAML metadata URL from the above setup) Federating domain: mycustomdomain.com Issuer URI: https://sts.windows.net/<IDP_TENANT_ID>/ Passive endpoint: https://login.microsoftonline.com/mycustomdomain.com/saml2 DNS TXT record added: DirectFedAuthUrl=https://login.microsoftonline.com/mycustomdomain.com/saml2 Step 3: Attached to User Flow Added SAML IdP to user flow under "Other identity providers" Saved configuration and waited for propagation The problem It doesn't work. When testing via "Run user flow": No SAML button appears (should display "Sign in with mycustomdomain") Entering email address removed for privacy reasons doesn't trigger federation The SAML provider appears configured but never shows up in the actual flow Also tried using the tenant GUID in the passive endpoint instead of the domain - same result My question Is SAML federation from External ID to regular Entra ID tenants actually possible? I know OIDC federation to Microsoft tenants is (currently, august 2025) explicitly blocked (microsoftonline.com domains are rejected). Is SAML similarly restricted? The portal lets me configure everything without throwing any errors, but it never actually works. Am I missing something in my configuration? The documentation for this use case is limited and I've had to piece together the setup from various sources. Or is this a fundamental limitation where External ID simply can't federate to ANY Microsoft tenant regardless of the protocol used?Add members to a dynamic sec-grp excluding users with a specific "serviceplanid" assigned license
Hello, I am trying to populate dynamically a security group that shoud contain all members with a specific attribut value and trying to filter the groupe membership based on a serviceplanId assigned to members (user.extensionAttribute9 -startsWith "83") -and (user.accountEnabled -eq True) -and (user.mail -ne null) -and (User.AssignedPlans -any (assignedPlan.servicePlanId -ne "818523f5-016b-4355-9be8-ed6944946ea7" -and assignedPlan.capabilityStatus -eq "Enabled")) How to exclude members with the ServicePlanId : "818523f5-016b-4355-9be8-ed6944946ea7" from the list of the groupe members ?
Exclusion of Copilot App (for O365) from Conditional Access Policies does not work
Hi, we've built a Conditional Access Policy in EntraID that forces MFA for all Cloud Apps. We want to exclude "Microsoft 365 Copilot"/ "Copilot App" so no Reauthentication is necessary for Copilot in the frame of accessing O365 content. Exclusion has been made for a range of identified Copilot applications that are shown in Sign-in logs. However, reauthentication still pops up. No other conditional access policy is applied. It's this specific policy that requires reauthentication. What's the reason why the exclusion does not work? Is there something else necessary to be taken into consideration so the exclusion works fine? Many thanks in advance!Join Merill Fernando and other guests for our Identity and Network Practitioner Webinar Series!
