Global secure access and Entra ID private access licensing question

Question

Hello,

I would like to know if Microsoft Entra Internet Access and Microsoft Entra Private Access

have already become generally available as in this article (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/overview-what-is-global-secure-access) as I still see the "PREVIEW" word in my Entra admin center.

and May I know what licenses are required to use these features? Would Microsoft 365 E5 be eligible for it?

Answer 1

@HuanPhung-1568 As per this documentation, Prerequisite to use Microsoft Entra Private Access, Microsoft Entra Internet Access and Secure Access Essentials is Microsoft Entra ID P1 or Microsoft Entra ID P2. 

As you mentioned above you want to know whether this can be used if one has Microsoft 365 E5, yes it can be - https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/microsoft-365/enterprise/e5?activetab=pivot:overviewtab Microsoft 365 E5 has Microsoft Entra ID P2 license.

Coming to the changes in UI, its in progress as per the last communication which i had with the product team yesterday.

Same doc - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/overview-what-is-global-secure-access has been updated yesterday.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.

Answer 2

Hello Huan Phung,

Thanks for your question.

Yes they are still in the preview phase. This means they can be subject to changes and updates until they reach GA status.

This is documented in the terms of use here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/global-secure-access/overview-what-is-global-secure-access#terms-of-use

Use of Microsoft Entra Private Access, Microsoft Entra Internet Access and Secure Access Essentials also require Microsoft Entra ID P1 or Microsoft Entra ID P2. The E5 license contains Premium 1 and 2 so you should be able to use the feature.
