Microsoft Entra Built-in Roles
Doc updateThe reference now documents Resource Policy Administrator, Evaluator, and Reader roles, including their capabilities and role IDs.
Daily.Entra.NewsThe day’s meaningful updates center on two administrator-facing areas: Agent ID guidance now describes a default inactivity process across all tenants, including notifications and possible identity disabling, while Entra ID credential-management guidance adds custom URL-domain handling for authentication, API requests, returned links, and passkey registration. ID Governance guidance also connects access packages and sponsor-transition notifications to agent governance, and the built-in-role reference adds three resource-policy roles. The remaining updates are link or terminology corrections.
The guidance describes a default policy across all tenants: inactive agent identities are identified, relevant users are notified, and identities may be disabled if activity does not resume. It also updates sponsor lifecycle guidance and adds a PostgreSQL governance link.
The page now covers custom URL domains for authentication, API requests, returned links, and passkey registration, including the ability to override the WebAuthn relying-party ID. Administrators supporting external tenants should review application and passkey integrations against this guidance.
The overview now links additional AI agent governance scenarios, describes Lifecycle Workflows sponsor-transition notifications, and clarifies that entitlement-management access packages can govern agent identity assignments.
The reference now documents Resource Policy Administrator, Evaluator, and Reader roles, including their capabilities and role IDs. Administrators can use the entries to identify roles for managing, evaluating, or reading resource policies.
