Situatie

1. User and Group Management

• Purpose: Manage identities of employees, contractors, and other users in your organization.
• Features:
  • Add, delete, or modify user accounts.
  • Assign users to groups for streamlined access management.
  • Manage group memberships and roles.
  • Provision and manage guest users for collaboration with external parties.

2. Authentication and Access Control

• Purpose: Secure how users sign in and access organizational resources.
• Features:
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): Allow users to access multiple apps and services with a single set of credentials.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification (e.g., SMS codes, app-based authentication, biometrics).
  • Password Policies: Set rules for password complexity, expiration, and self-service password reset.

3. Conditional Access

• Purpose: Control access to resources based on user location, device, or risk level.
• Features:
  • Define policies that restrict access under certain conditions (e.g., block sign-ins from specific countries or unmanaged devices).
  • Enforce session controls for cloud apps to monitor and manage active sessions.
  • Integrate risk-based decisions (e.g., block or challenge high-risk sign-ins).

4. Identity Protection

• Purpose: Detect and respond to identity-related risks.
• Features:
  • Monitor suspicious sign-in activities (e.g., impossible travel or sign-ins from unusual IPs).
  • Automate responses to high-risk activities (e.g., enforce password reset or block sign-ins).
  • Track user risk and sign-in risk to identify vulnerabilities.

5. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

• Purpose: Grant users only the permissions they need based on their job role.
• Features:
  • Assign roles like Global Administrator, User Administrator, or Billing Administrator.
  • Limit over-provisioning of access to sensitive data or management tools.

6. Application Management

• Purpose: Manage user access to third-party and Microsoft 365 apps.
• Features:
  • Integrate enterprise applications with Azure AD for SSO.
  • Control which users or groups can access specific applications.
  • Monitor app usage with reports and logs.

7. Privileged Identity Management (PIM)

• Purpose: Manage and secure privileged accounts with elevated access.
• Features:
  • Enable just-in-time access to critical roles to minimize exposure.
  • Require approval workflows for accessing privileged roles.
  • Monitor and audit privileged role usage.

8. Self-Service Capabilities

• Purpose: Empower users to manage their identities while reducing administrative overhead.
• Features:
  • Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): Let users reset their passwords without administrator intervention.
  • Self-service group management: Allow users to create and manage their own groups.

9. Identity Governance

• Purpose: Ensure compliance and manage lifecycle processes for user identities.
• Features:
  • Automate access reviews to ensure users have appropriate permissions.
  • Manage access lifecycles for external and internal users.
  • De-provision users when they leave the organization or a project.

10. Reporting and Monitoring

• Purpose: Gain visibility into identity-related activities and security threats.
• Features:
  • Access audit logs for user and admin activities.
  • View reports on sign-ins, application usage, and risky activities.
  • Leverage advanced monitoring through integration with Microsoft Sentinel or other tools.

Benefits of the Identity Menu:

• Centralized identity and access management for users and applications.
• Improved security through MFA, conditional access, and risk-based policies.
• Enhanced user productivity with seamless SSO and self-service tools.
• Regulatory compliance with access controls and reporting.
