Title: Microsoft Entra PIM – Privileged Access Lifecycle Project
I recently completed an in-depth IAM lab project using Microsoft Entra’s Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to simulate a real-world privileged access lifecycle for administrative roles.
This project brought together several critical security features:
-Just-in-Time (JIT) role activation
-Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforcement
-Justification prompts for all activations
-Approval workflows for elevated access
-Email notifications to alert on activity
-Time-limited access with auto-expiry
-Audit and sign-in log analysis for all privileged events
-Alerting on suspicious or repeated role activations
I configured a test environment using Microsoft 365 E5 Developer tools, assigned eligible users, and walked through the full flow—from request and approval to activation, expiration, and audit.
This hands-on experience helped me strengthen key skills in identity governance, role-based access control, security auditing, and Microsoft Entra policy configuration.
