Managing Roles and Identity Governance

In this chapter, you will learn about Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and how it enables you to manage, control, and monitor access to resources within Azure AD. PIM can help you identify and minimize the number of people who have access to sensitive or secure information and resources within your organization.

You will also explore how to implement and manage Azure AD entitlement management, which can be used to grant users access to a set of applications and sites within Microsoft 365, and finally access reviews, which are designed to allow users and admins to regularly review standing access to resources and assess where there may be stale permissions that are no longer required.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Planning and configuring PIM
  • Planning and configuring entitlement management
  • Planning and configuring access reviews
