With Microsoft Entra ID, it has been easy to automatically detect and prevent any unauthorized access attempt that could put our assets or data at any security risk. Microsoft Entra ID has been key to our success in ensuring that we keep our data safe and private and that everyone gets access to only the assets that they are allowed to.

What Your Peers Are Saying About Microsoft Entra ID
Security Analyst
Company just got the M365E5 license. Trying to figure out the intune automatic enrollment part. All devices are Entra joined, most are by one of three people. Question is prior to setting up automatic enrollment would the owner of the computer need to be changed to the user with the E5 license assigned to them?Data Scientist
See Full DiscussionAs I understand it, the E5 is assigned to a user, the device working from can be any computer, as long as the policies allow the user to login to the device and the device is allowed to connect. So I would say no, the owner of the computer is only a matter if you are working on the computer and not in the M365 cloud.
Information Security Manager
For context, I am a one person security team as a ISM. Other IT departments are Network, Systems, and Customer service that are under a completely different direction. There has a small about of push-back when I speak on access management roles/responsibilities and separation of duties. What are some opinions on what is the best take on access management ownership with AD and Entra ID, and other services?IT Analyst
See Full DiscussionIf you are having resistance about it, I think the first step is to engage higher organization levels showing evolved risks. If you get green sign of them next steps are:
1) training teams about security and risks;
2) review organization's security policy;
2.1) maybe create a standard about IAM's administration;
3) implement IAM policy
There is no formula about which team should do what, each organizations has its own way of working. It isn't a question of organizational chart, it's a question of resposibility. The most important thing is to ensure teams are aware of the their roles in the security implications.
