Reimagine secure access with Microsoft Entra

Discover the latest identity and access innovations and how to strengthen your defenses with Microsoft Entra.

Enhance productivity and security

Identity governance increases employee productivity and helps meet compliance and regulatory requirements.

Improve productivity

Automate employee, supplier, and business partner access to apps and services—in the cloud and on premises—at enterprise scale. Help ensure that people have access when they require it—without the burden of manual approvals.

Strengthen security

Reduce risk arising from access abuse and make smart access decisions based on machine learning. Set up requirements for recurring reviews to ensure that there is a continuing need for users, group memberships, and access.

Simply powerful. Powerfully simple.

Streamline deployment and operation with a cloud-based product. Support both cloud and on-premises apps. Integrate Microsoft apps plus hundreds of non-Microsoft apps with ease.

Automate routine tasks

Delegate day-to-day resource access requests to relevant business groups, and automate the approval process for customary resource access to help you focus on AI-provided insights and exceptions.

Govern access to your resources

Assign employee access to resources

Automatically assign app and resource access based on employee group memberships. Ensure that conflicting access (with app administrators and app users, for example) can’t occur with separation of duties. Delegate access decisions to business groups.

Allow guest and partner access to resources

Enable business groups to allow access to partners, suppliers, and guests securely via the same robust entitlement management and access review capabilities that employees use—with the same exception handling and rich reporting.

Control identities and access

Automatically create user identities and roles in the apps users need to access, and maintain and remove user identities as status or roles change.

Lifecycle workflows

Design workflows to ensure new employees are productive immediately—and that accesses are removed when employees leave.

AI-driven and standard access reviews

Ensure that users or guests have appropriate access and still need it, based on automated insight. Enable self-assessment or assign reviewers.

Privileged identity management for users or groups

Automatically mitigate excessive, unnecessary, or misused access to important resources in your organization with time and approval-based role activation.
