entra-idGuidance for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) — cloud identity and access management and the control plane for Zero Trust.
Entra Id is an agent skill from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. Guidance for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) — cloud identity and access management and the control plane for Zero Trust. Covers tenant and identity model, authentication methods (passkeys, FIDO2, certificate-based), hybrid identity with Entra Connect or Cloud Sync, app registrations and consent governance, groups and administrative units, break-glass accounts, and Zero Trust identity foundations. WHEN: Microsoft Entra ID, Azure AD, identity provider setup, SSO, hybrid identity, Entra Connect, Cloud Sync…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, OAuth and OpenID Connect and Access reviews and audit trails. It works with Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Curated Microsoft Security skills for AI agents - Defender, Sentinel, Entra, Purview, Intune, Security Copilot. The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 15f16df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
learn.microsoft.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Entra Id loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 997 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/entra-id/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is the cloud identity and access management service that authenticates users, devices, and workloads. It is the control plane for Zero Trust and the foundation every other Microsoft security control assumes is healthy.
Establishing the identity foundation: tenants, users/groups, authentication methods, SSO for apps, and hybrid identity with on-premises Active Directory. Use this skill before configuring Conditional Access, Identity Protection, or PIM - they all assume a clean Entra ID baseline.
Do not use this skill for risk-based sign-in detection (entra-id-protection), policy
enforcement (conditional-access-mfa), just-in-time admin roles (azure-pim), or lifecycle
workflows (entra-id-governance).
| If the goal is... | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sync on-prem AD users to cloud | Entra Cloud Sync (preferred new) or Entra Connect Sync | Cloud Sync is lighter, no server farm |
| Federate sign-in to on-prem | AD FS (legacy) or Pass-Through Authentication | Avoid new AD FS deployments; prefer PHS + WHfB |
| Replace passwords | Passkeys (FIDO2) > Windows Hello for Business > Microsoft Authenticator passwordless | Phishing-resistant only |
| Single sign-on to SaaS | Enterprise Applications (gallery or non-gallery) | OIDC > SAML where supported |
| Self-service password reset | SSPR with cloud writeback (hybrid) | Requires Entra ID P1 |
| Delegated admin scoped to a region/BU | Administrative Units | Combine with custom roles for least privilege |
| App calls Microsoft Graph or another API | App Registration + delegated/application permissions | Require admin consent workflow for risky scopes |
| Emergency tenant access if MFA breaks | Break-glass accounts (2x cloud-only, excluded from CA) | Hardware FIDO2 only; alerted on every sign-in |
Rule of thumb: if you are about to type a username and password into a Microsoft service in 2026, stop. Move to passkeys or WHfB. Password reuse + phishing is still the #1 root cause in identity incident response.
Tenant & identity model — Decide cloud-only vs hybrid. Define naming conventions for
users, groups (assigned vs dynamic), and administrative units. Block guest invites at
tenant level by default; allow per-collaboration scenario.
Verify: Get-MgPolicyAuthorizationPolicy shows allowedToCreateApps = false for default
users; admin consent workflow is enabled.
Hybrid identity — Choose Entra Cloud Sync for new deployments (agent-based,
lightweight, supports disconnected forests). Use Entra Connect Sync only if you need
PHS + write-back features Cloud Sync doesn't yet support. Avoid new AD FS - it adds an
on-prem dependency and an attack surface (MDI sensor required).
Verify: Get-MgDirectoryOnPremisesSynchronization shows healthy sync; password hash sync
enabled.
Authentication methods - move to phishing-resistant — Manage via the Authentication
methods policy (replaces legacy MFA + SSPR registration policies). Roll out in this
order: Authenticator (push + number matching) → WHfB on managed devices → FIDO2 passkeys
for admins → broad passkey rollout. Disable SMS as a primary method.
Verify: User Registration Details report shows > 90% of users with at least one
phishing-resistant method.
Applications & consent governance — Use the gallery for SSO where available. Enable
admin consent workflow so users request high-risk permissions instead of granting them.
Run the Risky Apps report monthly. Apply least-privilege Graph permissions and review
app credentials (secrets vs certs vs federated identity).
Verify: no consented apps with Application.ReadWrite.All or Directory.ReadWrite.All
outside the approved list.
Self-service & lifecycle — Enable SSPR with writeback for hybrid users. Configure My Account / My Apps. Use dynamic groups for attribute-driven membership (department, country, employeeType).
Break-glass accounts — Create two cloud-only emergency access accounts. Exclude from all Conditional Access policies. Authenticate only with FIDO2 hardware keys stored physically separately. Alert on every sign-in via Sentinel. Verify: monthly sign-in test from each break-glass account; alert fires within 5 minutes.
Block legacy auth and weak methods — Use Conditional Access (separate skill) to block legacy authentication protocols (POP, IMAP, SMTP AUTH, basic auth). Disable SMS / voice as primary MFA methods.

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills --skill entra-id -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/entra-id, .gemini/skills/entra-id, .github/skills/entra-id and .opencode/skills/entra-id in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Entra Id is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: learn.microsoft.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Entra Id is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
