Entra.News #27: This week in Microsoft Entra
Learn about my new YouTube series on CA policies, managing privileged role assignments and more from the community.
👋 Hi, Merill here with this week’s round up of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.
This week I started a new YouTube 📺 series on Conditional Access Policies and published the first two videos on Grant and Block policies. I’m starting with the basics and plan to dive into all of the different CA features.
I’m keen to hear your feedback on these videos and if there are specific topics that you would like to see covered.
If you know anyone that might be benefit from this please share and subscribe over at https://www.youtube.com/@merillx.
