featureRolloutPolicy resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Represents a feature rollout policy associated with a directory object. Creating a feature rollout policy helps tenant administrators to pilot features of Microsoft Entra ID with a specific group before enabling features for entire organization. This minimizes the impact and helps administrators to test and rollout authentication related features gradually.

The following are limitations of feature rollout:

  • Each feature supports a maximum of 10 groups.
  • The appliesTo field only supports groups.
  • Dynamic groups and nested groups are not supported.

The following are pre-requisites for each of the features that are currently supported for rollout using this rollout policy.

Passthrough Authentication

  • Identify a server running Windows Server 2012 R2 or later where you want the PassthroughAuthentication Agent to run. Ensure that the server is domain-joined, can authenticate selected users with Active Directory, and can communicate with Microsoft Entra ID on outbound ports / URLs.
  • Download & install the Microsoft Entra Connect Authentication Agent on the server.
  • To enable high availability, install additional Authentication Agents on other servers as described here.
  • Ensure that you have configured your Smart Lockout settings appropriately. This is to ensure that your users’ on-premises Active Directory accounts don’t get locked out by bad actors.

SeamlessSso

PasswordHashSync

  • Enable PasswordHashSync from the “Optional features” page in Microsoft Entra Connect.

EmailAsAlternateId

  • Associate alternate email with user accounts.
