Month in brief

Insider Risk in Conditional Access reaches GA; Entitlement Management will enforce approvals for privileged administrators

July’s supplied record is sparse and message-center-led, with no new, updated, or removed documentation items. Its clearest capability change is the general availability of the Insider Risk condition in Microsoft Entra Conditional Access, using Microsoft Purview Adaptive Protection signals. The supplied July 29 brief also reports an automatic Entitlement Management behavior change effective August 26. A July roundup flags Azure AD Graph retirement and Apple/older-Windows updates, but does not provide enough detail for migration or compatibility guidance.

  • Insider Risk condition in Conditional Access reaches general availabilityMicrosoft Entra Conditional Access / Microsoft Purview Adaptive Protection

    Microsoft Entra Conditional Access can use insider-risk signals from Microsoft Purview Adaptive Protection to enforce policy actions according to user risk levels. This is a generally available capability, not a preview. Use requires Adaptive Protection and an Entra ID P2 license, with rollout stated to begin in early July 2024 and complete by early August 2024.

  • Entitlement Management will stop privileged-role bypass of access-package approvalsMicrosoft Entra Entitlement Management

    Starting August 26, 2024, the supplied notice says access package policy approval settings will be enforced for Global Administrators and Identity Governance Administrators. This is a behavior change: those roles will no longer bypass configured approval requirements. The notice says the change is automatic and requires no organizational action.

  • Azure AD Graph retirement is flagged without migration detailMicrosoft Entra ID / Azure AD Graph

    The July 12 “What’s new in Microsoft Entra – June 2024” message names Azure AD Graph retirement and also mentions unspecified GA releases, Apple-device security enhancements, and changes affecting older Windows builds. It provides no retirement date, affected versions, feature names, or required action, so these references should be treated as lifecycle signals rather than a complete migration or compatibility advisory.

For Entra administrators

Organizations need an Entra ID P2 license and Adaptive Protection enabled to use the Insider Risk condition; eligible tenants can configure policies as rollout proceeds from early July through early August 2024. The Entitlement Management change requires no preparation according to the supplied notice, but Global Administrators and Identity Governance Administrators should expect configured access-package approval requirements to apply to them. The Azure AD Graph reference supports follow-up validation, not a specific deadline or migration action.
