Entra.News #46: This week in Microsoft Entra
Learn about Bicep support for Graph, custom url domains in External 🆔 and more!
👋 Hi, Merill here with this week’s round up of the latest news on Microsoft Entra from around the globe 🌍.
Some of you know that I love to automate things so this week’s public preview news of Bicep template support for Microsoft Graph starting with Users, Apps, Groups has me very excited.
My Graph PowerShell session from the PowerShell Summit is now available, check it out for some cool Graph PS tips.
PS I just realized that we have an official emoji for Microsoft Entra 🆔. How cool is that 😍!
Cheers,
Merill
