Getting Started with Azure AD Identity Governance – Part 2: Access Reviews

Sun, 02 Aug 2020 14:46:34 +0000

This blog is the second in a small series on Azure AD Premium P2’s Identity Governance toolkit.

Part 1: Entitlement Management

Part 2: Access Reviews (this post)

Part 3: Privileged Identity Management (PIM)

Historically, the apps, groups, and rights a user had were all under central and constant management by IT. Azure AD and modern management have pushed this towards ‘self-service’, including guest users, which improves productivity. The goal of Azure AD access reviews is to improve the management of user rights and access, in this modern environment, throughout their lifecycle in your tenant. It empowers you with automated tools to control their groups, apps, and roles (admin rights).

External Identities is a new public preview feature of Azure AD which allows external users to authenticate with a non-Microsoft account such as their Google or Facebook identity. This has been available in Azure AD B2C for some time, but that solution is really targetted at highly customised applications with potentially millions of users. External Identities opens up that idea to you ordinary Azure AD tenant so that any SAML or WS-Fed IdP can be used. You are essentially federating Azure AD with the external IdP, not a million miles off in construct to how you might federate your Active Directory Domain Services domains to trust others.
