That’s where Microsoft Entra Agent ID comes in. It lets you treat agents like you would treat human users with their own built-in identities. Agent ID lets you define permissions and extend new and existing protections to them. You stay in control across their entire life cycle, from initial creation to monitoring the day-to-day activities where we continuously check for risk and protect access to resources, to switching their ownership if their sponsors no longer around, and disabling them when they’re no longer needed. The good news is that you can use the same tools in Microsoft Entra that they use to manage human identities today. Let me show you. Here in the Entra Domain Center, you see a new type under Entra ID called Agent ID. In the overview, you’ll find a summary with key metrics. These insights highlight what you need to know about your agents. -For example, how many agents are in your tenant, the number of agents recently created, how many are active or unmanaged and without identities. Each are starting point for understanding agent activity and spotting early signs of agent sprawl. Moving to the agent registry, you get visibility for each agent in your tenant and what platform they were built on and whether they have an Agent ID or not. The agents here are mixture of Microsoft-built agents, agents that you built in Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, as well as Security Copilot. And no Microsoft agents using APIs and SDK supporting Agent ID. In fact, Agent Registry in Microsoft Entra is a shared center registry also used by the Agent 365 control plane. Next, in our agent identities, we can see all AI agents with an agent ID. Here, each agent automatically gets identity record, which is immutable object ID, just like a user or app registration would. It can quickly filter the list of the agents I want to manage. And by clicking into an agent like this one for HR self-service, we can see each details like the agent status, sponsor, permissions, roles, and associated policies. -Then, agent blueprints are templates for how agent identities are created. They ensure that any agent created has the right controls and is aligned with organizational policies. In the blueprint, we can see that it has one linked agent identity, which is actually itself. That said, this blueprint could be used for other agents as they are created. In fact, let me show you how this works with a blueprint that has more linked agent IDs. Back in our agent identities view, I’ll take a look at this HR Test agent to verify its agent blueprint. Here’s one has two linked agent identities. One has been named an Actor agent and is active. I’ll click into its access details. Here, I can see the details for each permissions. It has Application.ReadWrite.All permissions in the Microsoft Graph, which means it’s over permission, so it’s potentially dangerous. If I go back to the agent page, I can disable this agent. And if I confirm, this will block the agent to improve security and prevent and authorize access to it. So as an administrator, you have full visibility into your agent details and their correspondent permissions for accessing your resources. -Next, for scoping access to just what an agent needs to perform his tasks, we use access packages in Microsoft Entra. Let me show you. We start under Identity Governance, from Entitlement management and Access packages. You can see that I’ve already got one for a sponsor-initiated access package created. This includes the resources to help automate HR-related tasks for our agents. In Resource roles, you can see the specific Microsoft Graph API-related roles. Under Policies, that is just one initial policy. And clicking into it, we can see who can request access. I can choose from Admin, Self, Agent Sponsor, or Owner. -Importantly, these access package requires agent sponsor to approve any agent requests for access and it requires a business justification as well. Let me show you how the access request process works. I’m logged in as a human agent sponsor with the My Access portal open. I’ll browse Available access package. And here, the Sponsor-Initiated Agent Access package that we saw before. Clicking to exposes which identity I’m requesting access for, and I’ll keep the Sponsor agent option, and I’ll choose our HR Actions Agent. Next, I just need to enter a business justification. I’ll enter Timebound access for HR agents, then submit the request. Once the request has been approved, the agent will work according to my policies. And now, I can even create specific conditional access policies that will assess this realtime as agents try to access resources. -Here, I’ve created a Conditional Access policy to prevent agents from requesting sensitive information. In Assignments, there is now an option to apply the policy to agents. Under Grant, you see that this policy blocks all access requests by default, and you can see all agent identities are in scope. In my case, I want to make one exception. I want to make sure only approve HR agents can access HR information and stop our other agents. We can do that using an exclusion for HR-approved agents. Back in my policy, if I move over to Exclude, I can exclude one or more agent IDs from the policy. Using filter rules, this is how I can only allow the agents that were approved by HR to get access to dedicated HR resources, as you can see here. Under Target resources and in the filter, you also see that this policy covers all resources. So that was a very target Conditional Access policy. -We can also apply broader policies for all agents at risk to protect against a sponsor accounting being compromised and giving the agent malicious instructions. I move over to another Conditional Access policy that I’ve started. Just notice the identities in scope are, again, all agents. Target resources are all resources. But under Conditions, there is a new one called Agent risk. And when I’m look at what’s configured, you see the now we have High, Medium, and Low risk level options. I’ve chosen High. And once that’s enabled, condition access, you assess agent risk in realtime based on its likelihood of compromise and automatically block access to any resource per this policy scope. -Now, we’ve protected from risk agents when they request access to resources. And from Microsoft Entra, you can see which agents are currently flagged as risky in your tenant. Right from Identity Protection, you find your risky agents. So let’s take a look. We have three of them here. Our HR Actor agent from before shows high risk. By clicking in, you can see why. It looks like this agent tried to access resources that it does not usually access. Remember, this policy was a scoped to all agents without any exclusions, so if you block our HR agents too in case high risk is detected. So now our agents are running with their own identities and our resources are protected. -Since agents have one or more human sponsor, let’s move on to what happens if a sponsor leaves or change roles and makes the agent ownerless. For that, using lifecycle workflows, we can automatically notify the right people when agents become ownerless. Work workflows are a great way to automate routine tasks like employee onboarding and offboarding, and they work for agents too. I will narrow my list down by searching for a sponsor. There’s my workflow for AI agents to configure their sponsor in the event of a job profile change. Drilling into the workflow and then into its tasks, you see that we have two tasks defined for the what happens when the job profile changes. The first is an email to notify the manager of the user move, and I’ll click into the second task, which sends an email to the manager to notify them about agent identity sponsorship change they will need to action. -Let me show you an example when an agent sponsor leaves their role. Here, we’re seeing the manager’s mobile device. There’s a come in for an Outlook. And when we open it, in the mail, we can see that the manager needs to identify a sponsor for the two HR agents listed. This way, you can ensure the agents always have assigned sponsors. -Microsoft Entra Agent ID provides comprehensive identity, access, and lifecycle management for agents, with the same familiar tools you leverage already for users.

And now with AI agents acting on behalf of users, identity is more critical than ever. Today we’re going to explain and demonstrate how moving more of your groups and users to centralized management in the cloud can increase your identity security posture without breaking access and authorization to the resources that you have running on premises so that your users don’t even notice anything changed. If we step back in an architectural level, if yours is like most organizations, you’re probably running hybrid identity, where core identity management tasks happen on your local infrastructure, and many of your user, group, app and device accounts are still created or exist on-prem. -And as you’ve started using cloud services, you’ve also set up identity synchronization between your local Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID so that you can synchronize on-prem objects like usernames, passwords, and groups to the cloud. And if you’ve then gotten the extra step of a Cloud first approach, your new users, apps, and groups are managed in Microsoft Entra by default, and your new managed devices are Entra Joined. Now, you should have implemented multifactor authentication, ideally phish-resistant MFA with device compliance checks along with Single Sign-on for your apps. In both cases, these are really strong foundations. -That said, though, you’re dealing with dual management overhead, on-premises and in the cloud, which can result in less visibility and policy gaps. Moving the Source of Authority to Microsoft Entra to manage identity from the cloud across your digital estate, solves this. Here you’re minimizing your local directory services to only what’s necessary and bringing your existing groups, users and devices as well as your apps and cloud services wherever they live, into Microsoft Entra, which gives you holistic visibility and access control into user sign-ins, risky behaviors, and more across your environment. -In fact, as I’ll show you, this approach even improves controls as users access on-premises resources. The best path to making Microsoft Entra the source of authority is to start with your Active Directory Security Groups where you’ll prioritize the apps that you want to move to cloud-based authentication. Then after working through those, you’ll turn your attention to moving existing user accounts to the cloud. Let me show you how, starting with groups. So here you’re seeing a synced group in Microsoft Entra. The ExpenseAppUsers group has its source in Windows Server Active Directory, as you can see here. In fact, if I move over to the server itself and into Active Directory, you’ll see this group here on top. -Now I’m going to go open that up and you’ll take a look at the group membership tab here, and you’ll see that the group currently has two members, Dan and Sandy. And this is the expense app that we actually want to move. It’s a local on-premises line of business app. So let’s go back to Microsoft Entra and move this group. So we’re going to use Graph API to do this, and for that we’ll need the Object ID. So I’ve already copied the Object ID and I’ve pasted that value into this URI and the Graph Explorer. And of course this can be done using PowerShell or in code, too. And I’ve already run a GET command on this Object ID. And you can see that this new parameter IsCloudManaged equals False below. Now, to change this group to be cloud managed, I just need to patch this object with IsCloudManaged:true. Then I’ll run it. -Now if I select the GET command for that same object. Below, we’re going to see that it’s changed from False to True for IsCloudManaged. And if I go back to Microsoft Entra, we can confirm that it’s cloud managed as the group Source. So now we can add users to the group from Microsoft Entra using Access Packages. So from Access Packages, I’m going to open up the one for our app. Then under Policies, I can see the Initial Policy and edit it. Now moving to the Request tab, I’ll add our newly cloud managed group. There it is, ExpenseAppUsers, and confirm. Now I’ll just click through the tabs and finally update the policy. Of course, self-service access requests and reviews will work as well. And now we can actually try this out by adding users from the Microsoft Entra admin center to grant them access to our on-premises Expense App. -So back in our group for the Expense App, I’ll go ahead and navigate to members and there are the two that we saw before from Active Directory. Now let’s add another member. So I’m going to search here for Mike, there he is, and pick his account, then select to confirm. Now if I take a look at Mike’s account properties and scroll down, we’ll see that he’s an On-premises synced account account. So this account is managed in our local Active Directory, but now the group source of authority is actually in Microsoft Entra and I can grant the account access to on-premises resources as well from the cloud. In fact, let’s take a look at how this appears in our local AD. -So now if I open up our ExpenseAppUsers group and I go to the Members tab, you can see that Mike is there as a new member, synced down from the cloud. Under the covers, this is using a matching Group SID and assigning new members to our local group based on our configurations in Microsoft Entra. So, no changes are even necessary in the local directory or the app. And the point of doing this was to ensure that Mike could be granted access to our on-premises Expense App. So let’s see if that worked. So from Mike’s PC, this is his view of the Expense App and he now has access to that local resource even though I made all the configurations in the cloud. So that was how to get groups managed in the cloud and you’d work through other groups based on the priority of the apps and corresponding groups that you want to move to the cloud. -Now the next step is then to move your user objects to be cloud managed by Microsoft Entra. So here I’m in Microsoft Entra, and I’m looking at our Sandy Pass user account, and we saw her account before in Active Directory. And if I scroll down, you’ll see that her account is indeed managed on premises and synced up to Microsoft Entra. Now the goal here is to ensure that we maintain seamless access to on-premises resources like our app that we saw before, or also file shares, for example, with better security using passwordless authentication. So if I move over to the view from Sandy’s PC, you’ll see that she has a hybrid joined account, and I can access local file shares like this one, for example, for DanAppServer. -Now if I head over to the System Tray, you’ll see that this machine also has Global Secure Access running for on-premises resource access. And next, I’ll open up a command prompt and I’ll run klist to see the issued Kerberos Tickets to show domain authorization is indeed working. So now let’s move this account to be cloud managed like we did with our group before. And the process is pretty similar and equally automatable using scripts or code. Again, we’ll need the Object ID from Microsoft Entra. Remember this text string. Now if I move over to Graph Explorer again in the URI, you’ll see that the Object ID for Sandy’s account is already there and I’ve already run the GET command and IsCloudManaged as you would expect is currently False. So let’s change that property to True. And again, I’ll use the PATCH command like we do with the Group, and I’ll run it. So now if I go over to the dropdown and rerun the GET command, you’ll see that IsCloudManaged is now True. -So if I go back to the Entra portal, we can then head over to the account properties and scroll down and then we’ll see that On-premises sync enabled says No. So, Sandy is now managed in the cloud. In fact, let’s head back over to Sandy’s machine and I’m going to purge the klist just to ensure that there aren’t any residual tickets to grant access to on-premises resources. Now I’m going to run dsregcmd and a switch for refreshprt to refresh the primary refresh token. Then running the status switch, I can get all of the details for the device registration. Then if I scroll down, eventually I can see the OnPremTgt and CloudTgt are both YES, which means the Kerberos ticket, granting ticket is working. -So now if I sign out of this machine then sign back in, the meerkat on screen looks pretty optimistic. So I’ll go ahead and open the Start menu, then I’ll head over to our file share from before and no problems. And I still have write permissions, too. So I’ll go ahead and create a folder, now I’ll name it Employee Data, then drag a file into it just to make sure that my experience wasn’t compromised and everything works. So now if I open up Start and then the Command Prompt and then run klist, there are my two issued tickets for the login as well as the file share access respectively. Again, the account is cloud managed now and we moved from on-premises and we haven’t even affected access or authorization to our resources on the local network. We’re still getting Kerberos Tickets, and our user didn’t even notice the change. -Moving your on-premises groups and user objects to be cloud managed is one of the strongest ways to improve your security posture, add control and better visibility.
