Customize Branding

Updated

The default background image behind the sign-in box is changing later this year. The change is only to the image, requires no action, and doesn't affect any functionality. We know that the default background image is often used for training and documentation to demonstrate the sign-in experience. Providing the updated image allows you to update your documentation so you can demonstrate the exact sign-in experience that your users will see. For details on the upcoming change, see [Microsoft Entra releases and announcements](../fundamentals/whats-new.md).

Entitlement Management Access Package Request Policy

Updated

When you create an access package, you can specify the request, approval and lifecycle settings, which are stored on the first policy of the access package. Most access packages have a single policy for users to request access, but a single access package can have multiple policies. You would create multiple policies for an access package if you want to allow different sets of users to be granted assignments with different request and approval settings.
