Entra Id Governance is an agent skill from vinayaklatthe/microsoft-security-skills. Guidance for Microsoft Entra ID Governance — automating identity lifecycle and access with entitlement management (access packages), access reviews, lifecycle workflows for joiner-mover-leaver, separation of duties, and guest access governance. Covers when to use access packages vs direct group assignment, reviewer choice and fallback actions, and integration with PIM for privileged access. WHEN: Entra ID Governance, entitlement management, access packages, access reviews, lifecycle workflows, joiner mover…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Security, covering 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.
6 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 Governance loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 828 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-governance/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Entra ID Governance ensures the right identities have the right access to the right resources at the right time. It automates identity lifecycle (JML) and access governance for employees, partners, and guests. Requires the Entra ID Governance SKU (P2 + Governance add-on, or M365 E5 + Governance).
Automating access requests/approvals, recurring access certification, and joiner-mover-leaver provisioning. Use this skill to choose between access packages and direct group assignment, configure access reviews safely, and run lifecycle workflows.
Do not use this skill for risk detection (entra-id-protection), Conditional Access
(conditional-access-mfa), or PIM activation (azure-pim).
| If the goal is... | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Self-service access request with approval | Entitlement management - access package | Includes guests; sponsor or manager approval |
| Time-bound access for a project | Access package with expiration | Auto-revokes; safer than group |
| Govern an existing privileged group | PIM for Groups (separate skill) | Just-in-time, not lifecycle |
| Recertify membership of a sensitive group | Access review on the group | Manager or self-attestation |
| Recertify access to an app | Access review on app assignments | Catches stale SaaS access |
| Auto-provision new joiners | Lifecycle workflow - joiner | Pre-hire setup, welcome email |
| Auto-revoke leaver access | Lifecycle workflow - leaver | Disable, group removal, license drop |
| Move to new department auto-adjust access | Lifecycle workflow - mover + dynamic groups | Attribute-driven |
| Catch toxic role combos (e.g. AP + AR) | Separation of duties on access package | Hard-block incompatible packages |
Rule of thumb: if humans request the access, use an access package. If the system grants the access from HR attributes, use lifecycle workflows + dynamic groups. Direct group assignment is the legacy default and rarely correct in 2026.
Define the catalogue — Access packages live in a catalogue. Catalogues map to a business owner (HR, Finance, Engineering platform team). Catalogue owners are accountable; IT facilitates. Verify: each catalogue has a named non-IT owner.
Build access packages with policies — Each package has resources (groups, apps, SharePoint sites), eligible requesters (internal users, specific connected orgs, all external), and an assignment policy (approval, expiration, attribute requirements). Verify: every package has expiration set; no perpetual access.
Configure access reviews safely — Set reviewer (manager > self > specific user), recurrence (quarterly Tier 0, bi-annually Tier 1, annually Tier 2). Critical: choose "no response" action carefully - auto-remove on no response is safer for low-risk resources but dangerous if the reviewer is on leave. Verify: reviewer escalation enabled; "no response" defaults documented per review.
Lifecycle workflows for JML — Build three core flows: Pre-hire (T-7 days),
Joiner (start date), Leaver (last day). Use HR attributes as triggers (employeeType,
employeeHireDate, accountEnabled).
Verify: leaver flow disables account, removes from all groups, revokes sessions, within
1 hour of HR attribute change.
Separation of duties on access packages — Mark incompatible packages (e.g. "Accounts Payable" + "Vendor Master Data Editor"). System blocks the second request with audit log.
Guest governance — All B2B guests via access packages with expiration. Run a quarterly
review of guests with no recent activity (use signInActivity filter). Remove inactive
guests automatically.
Verify: guests created outside an access package = 0 in monthly report.
Build an access package for guest contractors with sponsor approval and 90-day expiration.Set up lifecycle workflows for pre-hire, joiner, and leaver using HR attributes.Configure quarterly access reviews on our privileged group with manager review.Enforce separation of duties between "Accounts Payable" and "Vendor Master" access packages.Audit and remove inactive guests with no sign-in in 90 days.Move from direct group assignment to access packages for self-service.© vinayaklatthe, MIT.
