Just-In-Time Access with Microsoft Entra PIM 🚨
As part of my journey to mastering Microsoft Security and Identity solutions, I successfully implemented a Privileged Identity Management (PIM) project using Microsoft Entra ID.
Goal: Secure privileged role assignments with just-in-time access, MFA enforcement, and approval workflows — following the Principle of Least Privilege.
What I Did:
Enabled PIM for Azure AD roles
Assigned a user as eligible for the “User Administrator” role
Configured PIM to require:
Multi-Factor Authentication
Justification for activation
Time-limited access (1-hour max)
Audit log tracking of activations
Simulated real-world activation and role approval flow
Tools Used:
Microsoft Entra Admin Center
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Microsoft Authenticator
MyAccess portal
Audit Logs
Skills Demonstrated:
Identity Governance
Just-in-Time Role Activation
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Microsoft Entra PIM
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
