Quickstart: Create a policy assignment to identify non-compliant resources using Azure PowerShell

• 4 contributors

The first step in understanding compliance in Azure is to identify the status of your resources. In this quickstart, you create a policy assignment to identify non-compliant resources using Azure PowerShell. The policy is assigned to a resource group and audits virtual machines that don't use managed disks. After you create the policy assignment, you identify non-compliant virtual machines.

The Azure PowerShell modules can be used to manage Azure resources from the command line or in scripts. This article explains how to use Azure PowerShell to create a policy assignment.

Prerequisites

• If you don't have an Azure account, create a free account before you begin.
• Azure PowerShell .
• Visual Studio Code .
• Microsoft.PolicyInsights must be registered in your Azure subscription. To register a resource provider, you must have permission to register resource providers. That permission is included in the Contributor and Owner roles.
• A resource group with at least one virtual machine that doesn't use managed disks.

Connect to Azure

From a Visual Studio Code terminal session, connect to Azure. If you have more than one subscription, run the commands to set context to your subscription. Replace <subscriptionID> with your Azure subscription ID.

Register resource provider

When a resource provider is registered, it's available to use in your Azure subscription.

To verify if Microsoft.PolicyInsights is registered, run Get-AzResourceProvider . The resource provider contains several resource types. If the result is NotRegistered run Register-AzResourceProvider :

For more information, go to Get-AzResourceProvider and Register-AzResourceProvider .

Create policy assignment

Use the following commands to create a new policy assignment for your resource group. This example uses an existing resource group that contains a virtual machine without managed disks. The resource group is the scope for the policy assignment. This example uses the built-in policy definition Audit VMs that do not use managed disks .

Run the following commands and replace <resourceGroupName> with your resource group name:

The $rg variable stores properties for the resource group and the $definition variable stores the policy definition's properties. The properties are used in subsequent commands.

Run the following command to create the policy assignment:

The $policyparms variable uses splatting to create parameter values and improve readability. The New-AzPolicyAssignment command uses the parameter values defined in the $policyparms variable.

• Name creates the policy assignment name used in the assignment's ResourceId .
• DisplayName is the name for the policy assignment and is visible in Azure portal.
• Scope uses the $rg.ResourceId property to assign the policy to the resource group.
• PolicyDefinition assigns the policy definition stored in the $definition variable.
• Description can be used to add context about the policy assignment.

The results of the policy assignment resemble the following example:

For more information, go to New-AzPolicyAssignment .

If you want to redisplay the policy assignment information, run the following command:

Identify non-compliant resources

The compliance state for a new policy assignment takes a few minutes to become active and provide results about the policy's state.

Use the following command to identify resources that aren't compliant with the policy assignment you created:

The $complianceparms variable uses splatting to create parameter values used in the Get-AzPolicyState command.

• ResourceGroupName gets the resource group name from the $rg.ResourceGroupName property.
• PolicyAssignmentName specifies the name used when the policy assignment was created.
• Filter uses an expression to find resources that aren't compliant with the policy assignment.

Your results resemble the following example and ComplianceState shows NonCompliant :

For more information, go to Get-AzPolicyState .

Clean up resources

To remove the policy assignment, run the following command:

To sign out of your Azure PowerShell session:

In this quickstart, you assigned a policy definition to identify non-compliant resources in your Azure environment.

Bicep and Azure Policy: Manage Policy and Initiative Assignment

This is the third post about Azure Policy. This time, the post will focus on policy assignments with Azure Bicep and PowerShell. Policy assignment enforces a policy and a policy set at a given scope, management group, or subscription. This is where policies are applied to target resources.

A policy Assignment object has several properties:

• A name (limited to 24 characters at the management group scope, 64 characters for other scopes)
• A location, the Azure to store the operation metadata
• A display name, limited to 128 characters
• An identity object
• A description
• The enforcement mode, either default (enforced) or DonotEnforce
• A non-compliance object. The message will be displayed when resources are not compliant with the policy.
• A not scope array, to not apply the assignment at some management group or subscriptions
• A parameters object, to apply parameters for the policy for the assignment
• The Policy definition ID, resource ID of the policy definition, or the policy set

In Bicep language

The deployment of this bicep file could be done by the New-AzManagementGroupDeployment cmdlet. But like custom policy definitions and policy sets, you will certainly be asked to not assign only one policy. How can you manage several policy assignments in one place? This is the same problem we had with deploying policies. But even if a policy assignment can be seen as a JSON document, the amount of information needed to assign a policy is limited. Instead of using one JSON file per assignment, we can create a single JSON document with all assignments, but we need to take care of the scope.

the bicep file:

This Bicep file will deploy a policy assignment. As the deployment will be made via PowerShell, we need to convert the value of the parameters and the nonComplianceMessage properties from string to JSON with the JSON function in Bicep.

All the parameters needed for the deployment are stored in a JSON document.

There is one policy to assign but two assignments in the JSON document. It’s to illustrate the power of parameters in the assignment process. You can assign the same policy, multiple times, even at the same scope, as long as the name changes and the parameters are different.

Each object in the JSON document will serve to deploy the assignment via a PowerShell script.

The script read the content of the JSON document and for each object, it extracts the variable needed to deploy the bicep file. But there is a difficulty, the bicep nonComplianceMessages require a JSON array, but most of the time there will be only one message or no message at all (multiple messages are only used for policy set). And if there is only one message (or none) you will not end up with a JSON array, but a simple JSON object, so a modification is needed.

To deploy, simply run the deployAssignment.ps1 from its folder. You can add the "location" parameter to adjust the azure region for your needs.

Group Policy Assignments Using Microsoft Teams PowerShell

Unmanaged devices, external file-sharing, and email integration impose a big question mark on the security posture of Microsoft Teams. In order to secure and manage Microsoft Teams, policies are used under various sections like messaging, meetings, calling, conferencing, and many more. Usually, these Teams policies for users, groups, and batches are managed in the Microsoft Teams admin center or using the Teams PowerShell Module (TPM). But now Microsoft extends the managing capability of additional Office 365 group policies using the Teams PowerShell Module as per MC557818 .

According to this latest update, group policy assignments for Microsoft 365 groups, distribution lists, mail-enabled security groups, and security groups support additional policies in the Teams PowerShell Module. Apart from action control, policy assignments also set way for security controls like restricting anonymous access in meetings.

Let us see how to assign group policies using Microsoft Teams PowerShell Module and their functionalities under this blog.

What are Group Policy Assignments?

As the name suggests, assigning a policy to a particular group of users is known as a group policy assignment. The groups can be managed in Microsoft 365 admin center whereas group policies can be managed under the single roof of the Teams PowerShell Module.

Policy assignments are applied only to the direct members of a group and not to the nested group. That too, they are applied according to the precedence rules. And at the time of addition or deletion of users from a group, the policy assignments are updated which is also applicable when a policy is unassigned. Before jumping into group policy assignments, let us look through the precedence rules and ranking of policies.

What are Microsoft Teams Policy Precedence Rules?

Policy precedence determines the user’s effective policy when a user is assigned two or more of the same policy types. The precedence rules of policies are listed below for deeper insights into how an assigned policy will be deployed according to these rules.

• If a user is directly assigned a policy, the same type of policy can’t be inherited from the group. Therefore, the directly assigned policy takes precedence over the same policy type defined by the group.
• Also, if a user doesn’t contain a directly assigned policy, the user inherits the highest-ranking policy from the same type of policies applied by two or more groups.
• Finally, if the user is not assigned a policy directly or by group, then the global (organization-wide) policy takes precedence .

The user policy is updated under the following circumstances.

• Especially when a user is added or removed from the policy assigned group.
• And when a group policy is unassigned.
• At last, if a directly assigned policy is removed from a user.

What is Group Policy Assignment Rank in Teams?

As an admin, you are asked to define the rank of policy while assigning the policy. Primarily this ranking weighs the priority of the same type of policies assigned from two or more groups for a common user. Finally, the highest-ranking group policy is assigned as the effective policy to the end user after weighing the priority. Because a policy type can be assigned to a maximum number of 64 groups in Office 365.

NOTE: If the rank value is undefined, then the lowest ranking is given to the policy assignment.

How to Assign Policy to a Group in Teams Admin Center?

Follow the below steps to configure group policies in the Teams admin center where it majorly supports Teams calling policy, Teams call park policy, Teams policy, Teams live events policy, Teams meeting policy, and Teams messaging policy.

• Navigate using the path below.

Microsoft Teams admin center 🡢 Messaging Policies (Select the desired policy type page) 🡢 Group policy assignment 🡢 Add group 🡢 Assign policy to group

2. Then, select a group to which you want to assign a policy. 3. Set the ranking value for the group policy assignment through the select rank option. 4. After that, select a policy from the available policy types in the drop-down list and click Apply .

Unfortunately, all policy types can’t be managed under the Microsoft Teams admin center since it supports only certain policy types. Without a second thought, PowerShell is the go-to solution! Yes, managing policies using PowerShell is easy and efficient as it is the primary automation tool that ensures the deployment of objects in multiple tenants. Also, it is a place where error handling and logging are more flexible compared to the native admin center. Thus, let us deeply look through the next section of the blog to manage group policy assignments using Microsoft Teams PowerShell.

Manage Group Policy Assignments Using Teams PowerShell Module

As per the new update, Teams PowerShell Module now helps to manage group policies of Microsoft 365 groups, mail-enabled security groups, distribution lists, and security groups including Teams-related policies. Thus, create & manage groups in Microsoft 365 admin center and manage their policies in Teams PowerShell. Before getting started with PowerShell cmdlets, make sure to connect to the Teams PowerShell Module .

Assign Policy to Group Using Teams PowerShell Module

Get group policy assignments using ms teams powershell, remove policy assignment from a group using tpm, modify group policy assignment using teams powershell module.

By defining group policies, you can control user-specific actions like allowing them to schedule meetings, edit sent messages, etc. You can assign the available policies or create and assign custom policies depending on your requirements. Execute the following cmdlet after replacing the unique group identifier, policy type, policy name, and expected rank to assign a new policy for a group.

This “New-CsGroupPolicyAssignment” cmdlet is basically used to create new policy assignments for security groups and distribution lists. In which the group ID, policy type, policy name, and rank must be mentioned as mandatory parameters. Here with the rank value as one, the ‘AllOn’ policy under TeamsMeetingPolicy type is created for the given group.

The rank of the policy must be defined to determine the precedence. The recommended group membership size is 50,000 users per group while assigning a group policy. Also, it takes 24 hours or more to propagate the policy to all members of the larger groups.

Knowing all the available policy assignments allows you to understand the working conditions and their precedence levels better. Using this you can remove unnecessary policies, alter the desired ranking for policies and efficiently manage teams & groups around your Office environment.

The “Get-CsGroupPolicyAssignment” cmdlet primarily returns all the group policy assignments with some optional parameters to filter the results.

• Primarily, list all the policy-assigned groups by running the following command.

2. However, you can also retrieve all the policies assigned to a particular group using the below cmdlet.

Here the cmdlet is mentioned with group ID so that retrieving only the policy assignments of that particular group.

3.Also, you can list the groups based on their policy type by executing the below command.

In this case, the policy type is mentioned as TeamsMeetingPolicy. Hence this cmdlet returns only the groups assigned with this policy.

Remove the unnecessary policies found in your organization that are interrupting the ranking and slowing down the work progress. Most importantly, the removal of policies will update the ranking value of the same type policies where the policies in the list will be ranked consecutively after the removal.

Run the following cmdlet to remove a specific group policy assignment in Microsoft 365 environment.

The ” Remove-CsGroupPolicyAssignment” cmdlet removes the given policy type in mentioned group ID.

Directly altering the policy assignment ranking value is not possible in the Teams admin center. The policy assignments should be removed and newly assigned again with a new rank value to change the ranking. To take away this hassle, PowerShell lends you a hand with a simple and reusable cmdlet which is described below.

The “Set-CsGroupPolicyAssignment” cmdlet can be used to make the following alterations in group policy assignments based on the given attributes.

• Change policy assignment ranking.
• Change the policy under the existing policy type.
• Change policy assignment ranking value and policy of a given policy type.

In this example, the policy is changed to ‘SupportCallPark’ policy, and the rank value is assigned to 3.

NOTE: The “Set-CsGroupPolicyAssignment” cmdlet is currently not released for use. So, for now, you need to remove policies and add new policies to change the policy or ranking. But you can easily alter the policy settings once after the availability of this cmdlet.

New Group Policy Assignment Support in Teams PowerShell Module

Microsoft rolls out group policy assignment support for additional policies in Teams PowerShell Module as a new update. So that admins can manage their groups in the M365 admin center and group policies in Teams PowerShell with a breeze. This feature will allow you to configure custom policies to groups for all Microsoft commercial licenses. With this update, dependency on global or direct policy assignments through manual methods is eliminated. In addition to the core policies such as meeting policies, calling policies, and messaging policies, the following policies are now expected to be available in Teams PowerShell by late May 2023 .

• Application Access Policy
• Call Hold Policy
• Carrier Emergency Call Routing Policy
• Cortana Policy
• Dial Out Policy
• Education Assignments App Policy
• Emergency Calling Policy
• Enhanced Encryption Policy
• Events Policy
• External Access Policy
• Feedback Policy
• Files Policy
• IPPhone Policy
• Media Logging Policy
• Meeting Branding Policy
• Meeting Template Permission Policy
• Mobility Policy
• Notification And Feeds Policy
• Room Video Tele Conferencing Policy
• Synthetic Automated Call Policy
• Teams Branch Survivability Policy
• Template Permission Policy
• Video Interop Service Policy
• Voice Routing Policy
• Voicemail Policy

In conclusion, ultimately manage all group policies including Teams using PowerShell cmdlets. Take charge of the user-specific actions and security controls through this group policy assignment. Not only policies, you can also manage your Teams using PowerShell for effective administration. Rather than performing numerous repetitive tasks in the Teams admin center, automate them with just a few cmdlets in PowerShell.

I hope that this blog provides you with deeper insights into group policy assignments using Teams PowerShell. For any clarifications feel free to reach us through comments.

Testing Azure Policy via PowerShell

Azure Policy is a powerful tool that can be used as effective guardrails to safeguard an environment. In addition it can be leverage to auto remediate anything required a developer may forget about. For some examples on Azure Policy check out my posts “ Creating and Deploying Azure Policy via Terraform ” or “Dynamically Adding Terraform Policy Assignments…Reusing Infrastructure as code “. Specifically, this post is related to “ Terraform, Azure Policy, and Datas OH MY! “

Problem Statement

In a nutshell this policy ensures Azure Resource Groups require a delete-by tag and this delete-by tag must be within a certain date range. The follow up to this is a PowerShell script hooked up to an Azure Automation account which will delete resource groups who have past expiration. The dilemma is how can we seed test data to validate the script when Azure Policy will deny it? We could just delete the policy assignment do our testing and re assign it; however, that is a manual process and leaves open the room for error that the policy is never assigned. So that leaves us with the problem statement: How to seed test data that violates a policy?

Requirements

To run this the following Az Modules will need to be installed:

• Az.Resources

Breaking down this problem we can outline the steps we should take:

Remove the Policy Assignment

• Create the Resources that would violate the policy
• Re add the Policy Assignment

To do this successfully we should read in the existing policy assignment and store that information in our script so we reapply the policy with the same information that was originally available.

Store Policy Assignment Information

To store the policy assignment information, we will use the Get-AzPolicyAssignment PowerShell module:

The $PolicyParameterObject is a hashtable of parameters the Policy Assignment expects.

Can see we look up the Policy Assignment by name and store that as well as the Policy Definition ID as this will be used later.

Removing the Policy Assignment is quite easily actually. We just use the Remove-AzPolicyAssignment command.

Create the Resources that Violate the Policy

For this specific example the resources being created will be Resource Groups who have a delete-by tag value which is in the past. To accomplish this and provide a more realistic scenario the Get-Random command will be used.

The random number will be different for each resource group being created and will be used with the .addDays() function to subtract days from the $dateRan which is the starting point.

Re Add the Policy Assignment

Lastly, we need to re add the policy assignment to ensure this doesn’t drift.

This is being done with the New-AzPolicyAssignmnt function and passing in the assignment parameters as a hash table and the necessary information which was scraped from the original Policy Assignment that was saved off.

Sometimes when testing automation or the cleaning up of resources automatically it is important to create an automated way to seed test data. This will help improve consistency and help minimize the potential for human error.

Creating a complete teams policy assignment report.

Group-Based Policy Assignments Not Covered in the Previous Version

In November 2021, I wrote an article explaining how to generate an HTML report about the Teams policies assigned to user accounts . Life was simpler then and group-based policy assignments were relatively new. Showing its age, the ill-fated and never-successful Teams advanced communications license was the requirement required to build and assign custom policy packages to user accounts. Now Teams Premium is the necessary license to support custom policy packages. However, organizations can assign the standard policy packages with the base Teams license.

This explanation is a long-winded way of saying that the report I wrote about in November 2021 only reports direct policy assignments. Any policies assigned to users through group membership are blissfully ignored, a fact highlighted in a LinkedIn discussion that invoked my name.

This is a good example of the risk inherent in sample code: technical developments can render the example less valuable over time. It’s irritating for readers to find that an example that seems to meet their needs doesn’t work. I can assure you that it’s equally irksome for those who create example code when they discover that time and technology erodes the value of their efforts.

Coping with Three Types of Teams Policy Assignments

Something had to be done. Group-based management of objects like policies and licenses is an efficient way to ensure that user accounts with the same role receive a consistent configuration. Fixing the report script would also address other obvious flaws, like using the Exchange Online PowerShell module to get the organization name. I fired up Visual Studio Code and spent a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon to figure out the best way of reporting the three kinds of policy assignments that exist in Teams:

• Default : No other type of policy assignment exists for an account, so user activity is governed by the default policy.
• Direct : An administrator assigns a specific policy to an account
• Group : A user inherits a policy from a policy package assigned to their account.

Figure 1 shows some of the policies assigned to a Teams user. We can see that 24 different policies are available and that two of the five visible policies are direct assignments while the other three are default assignments.

Reporting Teams Policy Assignments

The Get-CsOnlineUser cmdlet retrieves policy assignments along with a lot of other information about Teams users. The information returned by the cmdlet is sufficient to deal with default and direct policy assignments. If the property for a policy is blank, it means that the default policy is used. If the name of a policy is in the property, it is a direct assignment. In the extract shown below, there are three direct assignments and five instances where the default policy is used:

Interestingly, the Get-CsOnlineUser cmdlet returns 44 Teams policies. Some of the policies that don’t show up in the Teams admin center are disused. Others might be used in the future.

The script described in the original article reported default and direct assignments, so generating the report is simply a matter of running down through each policy to check if a direct assignment exists and if not, report it as a default assignment. A different approach is needed to deal with group-based assignments. Take this code section that reports the meeting policy for a user:

First, the script sets the variable that stores the name of the assigned policy to a default value. Next, it checks if the Get-CsOnlineUser cmdlet returned a policy name. If so, the meeting policy is a direct assignment, and the script doesn’t need to be probed further. The next step runs the Get-CsUserPolicyAssignment cmdlet to check if any assignments exist. The cmdlet returns details of group and direct assignments. A Switch command checks the first (most recent) assignment and updates the variable storing the name of the assigned policy with the policy and a prefix. The direct assignment check might be unnecessary because Get-CsOnlineUser returns this information, but I included it just in case.

If it’s a group assignment, the script calls a function to run the Get-MgGroup cmdlet (from the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK) to return the display name of the group used for the assignment. When processing policy assignments for all users, it’s likely that the same groups will be met many times. It would be wasteful to call Get-MgGroup each time, so the function uses a hash table to hold details of the groups it has already processed and only calls Get-MgGroup if the group hasn’t been seen before.

Figure 1 shows an example of the report output.

The folks who reported the problem have tested the updated script ( available from GitHub ) and say that it works. At least, it addresses the issue that they had and provides a better overview of the policy assignments for Teams users within a tenant. No doubt the code can be improved, but it’s PowerShell so that’s easily done.

Effort Required to Get the Right Results

The downside is that the amended script takes longer to run because of all the extra processing. The upside is that the report generated by the script is accurate because it includes group-based policy assignments. This goes to prove (once again) that achieving the right result takes effort. In this case, the effort filled a couple of hours on a wet Saturday and delivered a practical solution to a problem. That’s always nice.

Set User Rights

All of the User Rights that can be set:

Note You may edit line 437 in the script to change what happens when the script is run without any arguments or parameters, this also allows you to change what happens when the script is run from the Powershell ISE.

Here are a few examples:

Add Users Single Users Example 1 Add User Right “Allow log on locally” for current user: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -UserRight SeInteractiveLogonRight Example 2 Add User Right “Log on as a service” for CONTOSO\User: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight Example 3 Add User Right “Log on as a batch job” for CONTOSO\User: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight Example 4 Add User Right “Log on as a batch job” for user SID S-1-5-11: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -Username S-1-5-11 -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight Add Multiple Users / Rights / Computers Example 5 Add User Right “Log on as a service” and “Log on as a batch job” for CONTOSO\User1 and CONTOSO\User2 and run on, local machine and SQL.contoso.com: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -AddRight -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight , SeBatchLogonRight -ComputerName $ env : COMPUTERNAME , SQL.contoso.com -UserName CONTOSO\User1 , CONTOSO\User2

Remove Users Single Users Example 1 Remove User Right “Allow log on locally” for current user: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -UserRight SeInteractiveLogonRight Example 2 Remove User Right “Log on as a service” for CONTOSO\User: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight Example 3 Remove User Right “Log on as a batch job” for CONTOSO\User: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -Username CONTOSO\User -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight Example 4 Remove User Right “Log on as a batch job” for user SID S-1-5-11: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -Username S-1-5-11 -UserRight SeBatchLogonRight Remove Multiple Users / Rights / Computers Example 5 Remove User Right “Log on as a service” and “Log on as a batch job” for CONTOSO\User1 and CONTOSO\User2 and run on, local machine and SQL.contoso.com: . \Set-UserRights.ps1 -RemoveRight -UserRight SeServiceLogonRight , SeBatchLogonRight -ComputerName $ env : COMPUTERNAME , SQL.contoso.com -UserName CONTOSO\User1 , CONTOSO\User2

Check User Rights

In order to check the Local User Rights, you will need to run the above (Get-UserRights), you may copy and paste the above script in your Powershell ISE and press play.

Note You may edit line 467 in the script to change what happens when the script is run without any arguments or parameters, this also allows you to change what happens when the script is run from the Powershell ISE.

How to Configure Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM)

• Updated on April 15, 2024
• Microsoft Entra

Administrators need access to the organization so they can perform their tasks. However, you want to manage, control, and monitor their privileged access. That’s when Microsoft Entra PIM comes into the picture. In this article, you will learn how to configure Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM).

Table of contents

What is microsoft entra privileged identity management, 1. assign role, 2. edit role settings, 3. activate role.

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a service in Microsoft Entra ID that enables you to manage, control, and monitor access to important resources in your organization. These resources include resources in Microsoft Entra ID, Azure, and other Microsoft Online Services such as Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Intune

It provides time-based and approval-based role activation to mitigate the risks of excessive, unnecessary, or misused access permissions on resources that you care about. Here are some of the key features of Privileged Identity Management:

• Provide just-in-time privileged access to Microsoft Entra ID and Azure resources
• Assign time-bound access to resources using start and end dates
• Require approval to activate privileged roles
• Enforce multifactor authentication to activate any role
• Use justification to understand why users activate
• Get notifications when privileged roles are activated
• Conduct access reviews to ensure users still need roles
• Download audit history for internal or external audit
• Prevents removal of the last active Global Administrator and Privileged Role Administrator role assignments

Note: You need Microsoft Entra ID P2 to use the Privileged Identity Management feature in Microsoft Entra ID.

Set up Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management

Let’s look at how to assign a role, edit the role settings, and activate the role using PIM by signing in as a user.

To assign users or current admins as eligible admins for specific Microsoft Entra roles, follow these steps:

• Sign in to Microsoft Entra admin center
• Expand Identity governance > Privileged Identity Management
• Click on Microsoft Entra roles

• Click on Roles

• Click Add assignments

• Select a role that you want to assign to the member or the group
• Select the member

• Click Assign

The Microsoft Entra role is successfully assigned to the user. In the next step, we will look into the role settings.

To configure the Microsoft Entra role setting in Privileged Identity Management, follow the below steps:

• Search for the role that you added the member to
• Select the role

• Click Role settings
