Entra ID gives users a single identity for Microsoft 365, thousands of pre-integrated SaaS applications, and your own custom apps. Applications without a ready connector can be integrated through templates and open protocols.

Conditional Access checks user, device, location, and session risk at every sign-in, then allows, blocks, or challenges. Multifactor authentication, passkeys, and phishing-resistant methods sit behind the same set of policies.

Lifecycle workflows connect Entra ID to your HR system, so accounts and access follow hiring, role changes, and exits. Provisioning reaches downstream applications, and access is removed when it should be.

Entitlement management bundles applications, groups, and roles into access packages that users request and owners approve. Scheduled access reviews put the decision with the manager who knows whether the access is still needed.

Privileged Identity Management replaces permanent administrator roles with time-limited activation and approval. Every elevation is logged, which gives auditors a clear record of who held which role, when, and why.

Entra External ID covers guest access for suppliers and partners, and sign-up and sign-in for customer-facing applications. Verified ID adds credential-based verification where a stronger identity check is needed.
