Introduction
This video explains how to enhance Microsoft 365 security using Privileged Identity Management (PIM). It focuses on just-in-time access and multi-factor authentication, aiming to equip viewers with the knowledge to implement tighter admin controls.
Key Takeaways
Admin Roles and Security: The video uses the analogy of an office building to illustrate how admin roles in Microsoft 365 control access to different system functions. Assigning granular permissions prevents unauthorized access to sensitive areas.
Privileged Identity Management (PIM): PIM allows users to request temporary admin permissions for specific tasks, improving security by limiting the duration of elevated access. This contrasts with granting permanent admin rights.
PIM Licensing: PIM requires the Entra ID P2 suite license, costing an additional $6 per user per month, which includes other security features beyond PIM.
PIM Demo: A practical demonstration shows how to configure PIM, assign eligibility for admin roles, set activation durations, enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), and require justifications and approvals for access requests.
User Experience: The video showcases the user experience from both the administrator's and the end-user's perspectives, highlighting the request, approval, and activation processes.
