Manage Microsoft 365 identity governance

  • Artikel

Identity governance is all about protecting, monitoring, and auditing access to critical assets while ensuring employee productivity. For example, with identity governance, you can ensure that the right users have the right access to the right resources and determine if that access changes over time.

For more information, See this overview of identity governance for Microsoft Entra ID.

Set up Microsoft Entra access reviews

Microsoft Entra access reviews allow you to review a user's access to ensure only the right people have continued access. For example:

  • As a new employee joins your organization, you need to ensure they have the right access to be productive.
  • As that employee moves to other teams, locations, or departments, you need to ensure that their access to previous teams, locations, or departments are removed as needed.
  • When that employee or a guest leaves your organization, you need to ensure their access is removed.

This is especially important if your organization is subject to security audits to determine if user accounts have too much access, which could result in fines if in violation of industry or regional regulations.

For more information, see the overview of access reviews.

Set up Microsoft Entra entitlement management

With Microsoft Entra entitlement management, you can manage the identity and access lifecycle at scale by automating access request workflows, access assignments, reviews, and expiration.

Your employees need access to various groups, applications, and sites to perform their job. Managing this access can be challenging because requirements change, new applications are added, or users need additional access rights. When you collaborate with other organizations, you may not know who in the other organization needs access to your organization's resources, and outside users won't know what applications, groups, or sites your organization is using.

Microsoft Entra entitlement management can help you more efficiently manage access to groups, applications, and SharePoint sites for internal and outside users.
