Day in brief

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
