Global Secure Access V2 web filtering documents policy-based rules and V1 coexistence

The period’s main development is a new Microsoft Entra Internet Access article describing the V2 web-filtering model. Two Entra ID updates are documentation clarifications: provisioning-log guidance now points to the EnterpriseMCP GitHub repository, and Optional Claims explains how to configure granular AMR values for SAML and OIDC applications.

  V2 web filtering model is documented for Microsoft Entra Internet Access

  A new concept article explains policies, rules, destination matching, and coexistence with V1 web content filtering. V2 uses one policy per security profile, supports multiple rules with individual actions and a default action, and configures FQDN destinations as URLs. The evidence describes a documentation addition, not a new availability announcement.

  Optional Claims clarifies granular AMR configuration paths

  The updated guidance explains that granular AMR values for SAML applications must be configured through the application manifest or Microsoft Graph because the admin center has no `include_granular_amr` option. It also documents adding the `amr` claim to OIDC token types and makes clear that `include_granular_amr` applies only to SAML.

  Provisioning-log MCP guidance moves its setup links to GitHub

  The Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise overview and setup links in Howto Analyze Provisioning Logs now point from Microsoft Learn to the EnterpriseMCP GitHub repository. The article still describes the service as preview, global-service-only, and read-only, so this is a guidance and link-location change rather than a stated product-status change.
