Enterprise App Capabilities - Re Permissions

Question

Currently, my company integrates with our customers' AD through a custom enterprise app.

Our integration pulls in information about users/permissions/groups so that they can do a User Access Review.

We would like to simplify the workflow and improve the total installation experience, but we had a few questions, and it appears very difficult to find the answers.

1. Can we audit this information with a published enterprise app?
2. What is the advantage of a published app over a custom app?
3. Is there an Azure resource we can work with to better understand this and other questions.

Thanks!

Hi @Chris Pedigo ,

Thanks for reaching out.

1. Can we audit this information with a published enterprise app?

Azure AD provides several built-in reports and APIs that allow you to monitor user access to applications and associated data. You can also programmatically audit who has access to your applications and manage access to application/groups via access reviews.

1. What is the advantage of a published app over a custom app?

There are several advantages to using a published app over a custom app. Published apps are pre-built and tested by Microsoft, which means they are more reliable and secure than custom apps. They also come with built-in support and documentation, which can save you time and resources.

1. Is there an Azure resource we can work with to better understand this and other questions?
