How to transition off of Microsoft Entra Permissions Management for the anticipated product deprecation.
Conditional Access optimization-agent guidance expands; TLS 1.2 and authentication-flow clarifications are the main admin signals
The week of 30 June 2025 was primarily documentation maintenance: 244 updates, two new pages, no removals, and one Message Center notice. The substantive exception is a coordinated set of Security Copilot, Agent ID, and Microsoft Entra ID updates covering the Conditional Access optimization agent. Other meaningful updates clarify authentication-flow enforcement and TLS migration for Microsoft Entra Domain Services. The supplied evidence does not identify the optimization agent as a preview or generally available launch, and no retirement is recorded.
- Security Copilot and Agent ID add operational guidance for the Conditional Access optimization agent
Security Copilot · Conditional Access
Two Security Copilot pages marked new on 5 July cover reviewing and applying the agent’s suggestions and inspecting its metrics and audit-log events. Related Agent ID and Microsoft Entra ID updates describe recommendations based on Conditional Access best practices, identification of users not covered by an MFA-requiring policy, and the ability to update that policy. A related page states that at least a Microsoft Entra ID P1 license is required for the review-suggestions workflow. This is an expansion of guidance,
- Protocol tracking clarifies how Authentication Flows policies can persist across sessions
Entra ID · Conditional Access
The updated Microsoft Entra ID Authentication Flows guidance says sessions using device code flow or authentication transfer become protocol tracked, that tracking survives subsequent refreshes, and that later non-device-code or non-authentication-transfer flows can still be subject to authentication-flow policy enforcement. This is a documentation clarification of enforcement behavior, not evidence of a backend change introduced during the week.
- Microsoft Entra Domain Services guidance addresses TLS 1.0 and 1.1 disabling
Entra ID · Standards
An updated migration article says Microsoft is disabling TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 for Microsoft Entra Domain Services and identifies TLS 1.2 or later as the stronger target. It references a communication from 10 November 2023, so the update is security migration guidance rather than a newly dated cutover announcement. The supplied evidence contains no enforcement date.
- Mandatory MFA guidance flags an MSAL.NET public client API deprecation
Entra ID · Authentication
An updated Microsoft Entra ID page says applications using Microsoft.Identity.Client and one of the listed APIs require changes, and notes that the public client API is deprecated as of MSAL.NET 4.73.1. This is a developer-facing compatibility and deprecation clarification; the evidence does not say the deprecation began this week or identify the affected API list.
- Work or School sign-in background will receive a scheduled visual update
External ID · Authentication
A Microsoft 365 Message Center notice says the default sign-in background for Work or School accounts will be updated to align with Fluent design, with rollout stated for late September through early October 2025. The notice says no action is required and suggests updating internal documentation and help desks only to reduce user confusion. This is a visual sign-in change, not an access-control change.
Admins evaluating or using the Conditional Access optimization agent should verify the stated Microsoft Entra ID P1 requirement for the review-suggestions workflow, understand which MFA policy changes may be applied, and use the documented metrics and audit events. Teams using Authentication Flows policies should account for protocol tracking across refreshes and subsequent flows when testing sign-ins. Domain Services operators should review migration steps for dependencies on TLS 1.0 or 1.1; no cutover date is provided. Application owners using Microsoft.Identity.Client and the affected APIs should consult the deprecation guidance. The sign-in-background update requires no tenant action; internal help-desk or documentation updates are optional measures to reduce confusion.

Authentication Flows
UpdatedTo ensure Conditional Access policies are accurately enforced on specified authentication flows, we use functionality called protocol tracking. This tracking is applied to the session using device code flow or authentication transfer. In these cases, the sessions are considered protocol tracked. Any protocol tracked sessions are subject to policy enforcement if a policy exists. Protocol tracking state is sustained through subsequent refreshes. Given this, it is possible for non device code flow or authentication transfer flows to be subject to enforcement of authentication flows policies.
