Hello SAGA,

Entra ID P2 does include capabilities to manage guest access, such as access packages (Entitlement Management) and Access Reviews, which support onboarding, approvals, and periodic access cleanup.

The Microsoft Entra ID Governance add-on is only required if you need more advanced automation, such as Lifecycle Workflows and fully automated joiner/mover/leaver scenarios.

So, P2 does cover guest access lifecycle to a good extent. The Governance license is needed only for more advanced automation and extended governance features.

Hello SAGA,

Upgrading from Microsoft Entra ID P1 to P2 adds advanced security and governance capabilities while retaining all P1 features.

P1 covers essentials like Conditional Access, MFA, self-service password reset, dynamic groups, and basic access management.

P2 extends this with Identity Protection (detecting risky sign-ins and users), risk-based Conditional Access (enforcing actions based on risk), Privileged Identity Management (just-in-time admin access), Access Reviews (periodic access cleanup), and Entitlement Management (handling access packages, including guest onboarding and approvals).

Overall, P1 is suitable for standard access control, while P2 is better aligned with stronger security, privileged access control, and governance needs.

For advanced lifecycle automation (such as joiner/mover/leaver workflows), the Microsoft Entra ID Governance add-on may still be required.
