Microsoft Entra user and admin access controls to prepare for Copilot

Microsoft Mechanics Podcast

Prevent over-permissioning of your data and resources using a Zero Trust “Just enough access” approach with proactive role-based Conditional Access controls with Microsoft Entra. Privileged identities, like admins, are your highest value targets. Use identity governance controls to scope their access to just what they need to perform their specific job roles within specified time limits. For everyday users, ensure “just enough access” so users can only access what they need to get their jobs done. This is done using Entitlement Management to select the right resources and apps to prevent over-permissioning. With Conditional Access adaptive controls, you can ensure users and devices meet predefined conditions prior to granting access to any resource.

Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares the controls you can put in place to help ensure access to your resources is protected.
