Agent ID blueprint guidance expands while Windows passkey registration loses its preview label
14 August was dominated by documentation maintenance: all 50 supplied items were updates, 40 concerning Agent ID, with no removals or Message Center notices. The clearest administrator-relevant edits were expanded Agent ID provisioning guidance, improved quota troubleshooting, explicit treatment of agent accounts in dynamic groups, and corrected access-package eligibility wording. A Windows passkey registration page lost its “(preview)” label, but the supplied diff does not establish general availability or a product behavior change. Many other edits standardized the Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar) name, acronyms, placeholders, samples, and links.
- Agent ID provisioning guidance now points to blueprints, not app-registration APIs
Agent ID · Architecture
The Agent ID architecture guidance says agents should use an agent identity blueprint and the `#Microsoft.Graph.AgentIdentity` object instead of standard application-registration APIs. It also documents supported creation channels, roles, permissions, and .NET usage. Administrators maintaining provisioning automation should align it with those documented patterns.
- Dynamic-group guidance clarifies how agent user accounts are evaluated
Entra ID · General
The Microsoft Entra ID guidance says agent user accounts are evaluated by user-based membership rules and are not distinguished from other user identities by default. Rules can explicitly include or exclude them, including accounts associated with a particular agent identity blueprint. Review rules where agent accounts should not inherit, or should deliberately receive, group membership.
- Agent ID error guidance adds operational detail for quota failures
Agent ID · Authentication
The error reference now separates quota, blueprint, blueprint-principal, agent-identity, and creation errors. It states that quota errors can include active and soft-deleted resources, and that unneeded items must be permanently deleted before creating more. This improves troubleshooting guidance rather than announcing a new quota or service behavior.
- Access-package guidance removes an inaccurate direct-assignment approval implication
ID Governance · Governance
The updated entitlement-management policy page no longer implies that direct assignment to an access package requires approval. It says assigned users must meet the policy’s eligibility requirements. The supplied diff describes a documentation correction, not a product behavior change.
- Windows passkey registration no longer carries the “(preview)” label
Entra ID · Authentication
The registration page’s title and heading no longer include “(preview).” No other change is shown, and the supplied diff does not explicitly announce general availability, a launch, or required administrator action.

Microsoft Entra ID
6 updatesThe page title and heading no longer include “(preview).” No other change is shown, and the diff does not explicitly announce general availability or a product launch.
The documentation now consistently uses “Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar)” and expands “SPA” to “single-page application.” The described authentication flows and responsibilities are otherwise unchanged in the supplied diff.
The local-development article now consistently uses “Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar)” instead of “Microsoft Entra Auth SDK,” including its title, description, intent, link text, and container description.
The article now explains that agent user accounts are evaluated by user-based membership rules and can join dynamic user groups. By default, they are not distinguished from other user identities; rules can explicitly exclude or include them, including accounts tied to a specific agent identity blueprint.
The tutorial now explains that `{enterprise}` in the GitHub.com SCIM tenant URL is the enterprise slug (account name).
