Microsoft Entra ID P2 – 100 Users [Subscription]

Microsoft Entra ID P2 100 Users

Microsoft Entra ID P2 100 Users provides advanced identity and access management capabilities for 100 licensed users. Help protect organizational accounts, apply risk-based access policies, and manage privileged access to important business resources.

Formerly known as Azure Active Directory Premium P2, Microsoft Entra ID P2 is a cloud-based identity subscription. It supports organizations that want stronger visibility into identity risks and more control over how users receive and exercise access.

Strengthen Identity Protection

Compromised accounts can expose business applications and sensitive information. Microsoft Entra ID Protection helps administrators identify potentially risky users and sign-ins so they can investigate activity and take appropriate action.

Security teams can review risk information, examine relevant detections, and use the available reports to understand which accounts may require attention. This helps focus investigation on identity activity that warrants closer review.

Identity protection requires configuration, monitoring, and an operational response process. The subscription provides security capabilities, while administrators remain responsible for reviewing findings and maintaining suitable policies.

Apply Risk-Based Conditional Access

Microsoft Entra ID P2 supports Conditional Access policies that take user risk and sign-in risk into account. Organizations can use these signals to determine when additional authentication or other access controls should apply.

For example, a business could configure stronger verification requirements when a sign-in is assessed as risky. Policy decisions depend on the available signals, the organization’s settings, and Microsoft’s supported controls.

Before broad deployment, administrators should test policy behavior with a limited group. Reviewing expected access patterns and recovery arrangements helps reduce disruption while introducing stronger identity controls.

Manage Privileged Access with PIM

Privileged Identity Management, commonly called PIM, helps organizations manage access to administrative roles. It supports eligible assignments and time-limited activation, allowing privileged permissions to be available when needed.

Organizations can configure activation requirements such as approval and multifactor authentication, where supported. These controls help reduce reliance on permanent privileged assignments and provide a more structured approach to administrative access.

For example, an administrator who only occasionally performs a sensitive task could activate an eligible role for a defined period. The exact configuration should reflect operational responsibilities and the permissions required for the work.

Review Access and Entitlements

Microsoft Entra ID P2 includes basic access review and entitlement management capabilities. These can help organizations assess whether supported access assignments remain appropriate as people change roles or responsibilities.

An access review can provide a structured opportunity to evaluate existing permissions. Entitlement management can help organize supported access requests and assignments under the capabilities included in the license.

Some newer or advanced governance features require Microsoft Entra ID Governance or another qualifying subscription. This product does not include every feature available across the wider Microsoft Entra portfolio.

Suitable Business Scenarios

A growing organization could use identity risk reports to support account investigations and introduce risk-based policies for selected applications. An IT team could use PIM to reduce standing administrative access.

Businesses with changing project teams could use supported review capabilities to reassess permissions periodically. These are examples of possible configurations rather than preconfigured security solutions supplied with the subscription.

The most appropriate deployment depends on existing applications, user responsibilities, administrative processes, and security requirements. Define the intended outcome before configuring policies or changing access assignments.
