Exploring the Entities Which Manage Objects in your Entra Tenant

Entities that manage objects in the Entra tenant can be restricted to ensure a secure and efficient system. The Restricted Management Administrative Units play a crucial role in ensuring only authorized entities have control. This feature is especially vital where managers want to limit object accessibility to individuals in specific roles or locations. Thus, understanding these units becomes crucial in controlling operations and information flow within a tenant.

Learn about Protecting Sensitive Entra Objects with Restricted Management Administrative Units

 

Protecting sensitive Entra objects with Restricted Management Administrative Units requires limiting which entities can manage objects in your Entra (fka Azure AD) tenant. This is done with Restricted Management Administrative Units. Restricted Management Administrative Units provide granular control of access and are used for scenarios such as limiting management of certain objects to executives or those in specific geographies. Administrators can enable restricted management, assign licenses, and set permissions. This article provides an overview of how to use Restricted Management Administrative Units.

Restricted Management Administrative Units are used to create a hierarchy of administrative roles that enable administrators to delegate access to certain objects. This allows organizations to define the roles and responsibilities of each administrative unit, as well as the objects they are allowed to manage. The units can be configured to allow only specific roles to have access to certain objects. This ensures that only the right people have access to the objects they need.

When enabling restricted management, administrators need to assign licenses to the administrative units. Licenses can be assigned to the unit itself or to individual users. The license grants the user access to the objects in the unit, as well as the ability to manage them. After the licenses are assigned, administrators can set permissions for each unit. These permissions define which operations are allowed for each object.

Once the restricted management is enabled, administrators can use the administrative units to control access to the objects. The units can be used to control who can view, edit, and delete the objects. Administrators can also set policies to ensure that the objects remain secure. For example, they can set policies that require users to authenticate before they can access the objects.

Restricted Management Administrative Units provide a powerful tool for organizations to control access to sensitive objects. By enabling restricted management, organizations can ensure that only the right people have access to the objects they need. This helps to protect the organization from unauthorized access and ensures that the data remains secure.
