A cross-product view of Microsoft Entra changes related to Microsoft identity platform.
The article now distinguishes deactivating an app registration from disabling sign-in on a tenant-local service principal. It also explains that activation status includes tenant-local and Microsoft disablement, and that reactivating the app registration does not automatically restore tenant-local sign-in.
Starting November 4, 2026, default users in Microsoft Entra can create agent blueprints unless administrators disable this via the "Users can create agent blueprints" setting. Admins can restrict this by toggling the setting to No in the Entra admin center before rollout completes in late November.
The documentation now lists a default limit of 700 shared permission definitions for app roles and exposed delegated scopes, plus an aggregate manifest limit of 1,200 collection entries.
Security Copilot is now included with Microsoft 365 E5/E7 plans, integrating agents across Defender, Entra, Intune, Purview, and its portal. No purchase or action is needed. Organizations get monthly Security Compute Units, developer tools, and can explore additional paid features or opt out by contacting support.
User.ReadBasic.All will no longer provide access to user app role assignments and license details starting mid-September 2026 to fix a security issue. Applications needing this data must switch to User.Read.All or LicenseAssignment.Read.All permissions and update accordingly to avoid disruptions.
The Node.js Express and web application entries in the sample code documentation were updated, including their linked sample resources.
The documentation now uses revised Application (client) ID examples in the endpoint URI and `resourceId` configuration sample.
The documentation now consistently uses a different application client ID in the endpoint URI, calling application claim, and `resourceId` examples.
The best-practices documentation now uses the full “Microsoft Entra Agent ID” and “Microsoft Entra ID” names in two recommendations. The guidance itself is unchanged.
The n8n integration page now consistently calls the pattern “Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar)” instead of “Microsoft Entra Auth SDK.”
The page’s bullet describing platforms and services that create agents retains the same wording and examples, including Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock, and n8n. No substantive content change is shown.
The documentation now explains how to configure granular AMR values for SAML applications through the manifest or Microsoft Graph, since the admin center has no UI option for `include_granular_amr`. It also documents adding the `amr` claim to OIDC token types and clarifies that `include_granular_amr` applies only to SAML.
Replace `<application-object-id>` with the object ID of your app registration. Create one credential for each subject the workflow presents, such as a different branch or environment.
Replace `{appRegistrationObjectId}` with the application registration's object ID. You can find this value in the Microsoft Entra admin center under **Identity** > **Applications** > **App registrations** by selecting the app registration for your Global Secure Access application and copying the **Object ID** from the **Overview** page. To return to the default behavior, set `trafficRoutingMethod` to `random`. For more information, see [Update application](/graph/api/application-update?view=graph-rest-beta&preserve-view=true).
- GitHub Actions. First, configure a trust relationship between your [user-assigned managed identity](workload-identity-federation-create-trust-user-assigned-managed-identity.md) or [application](workload-identity-federation-create-trust.md) in Microsoft Entra ID and a GitHub repo in the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) or using Microsoft Graph.
