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?78Views0likes1CommentEntra 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?177Views0likes4CommentsRequest 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.47Views0likes0CommentsSecurity Best Practices for Bookings Page's Mailbox Objects in Entra ID
Hi, are there any recommendations / best practices for hardening the user objects that are created in Entra ID when I create a new Microsoft Bookings page? Unlike regular shared mailboxes, the sign-in is enabled by default, I can simply reset the password, sign in via Outlook Web and see the Microsoft Bookings calendar. Bad actors could brute force this sign-in, register the MFA authentication method of their choice and gather data of the customers that used my public bookings page. What is the recommeded way to handle these objects in Entra ID? Conditional Access settings? Azure Monitoring alerts for sign-ins? Defender alerts for when an inbox rule is created? Kind regards, YaseminSolved782Views0likes4CommentsEntra 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!214Views0likes2CommentsExclusion 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!170Views0likes1CommentMFA breakglass account recommendations?
Hi folks. Looking at the new Authentication Methods settings, and trying to consider the scenario where someone disables all of these methods by accident. We require MFA on all accounts (using the 'require MFA' param of Conditional Access). If these are all disabled, there's no MFA method available... Trying to think of ways around this, for that situation. Things I've considered - cert based auth, telephone auth, etc - all require the corresponding auth method to be enabled. How should this be handled?113Views0likes1Comment
