Control AI agents as they are created across your environment by treating them like real identities with Microsoft Entra Agent ID. See every agent in one place, understand what it can access, detect agent sprawl early, and apply least-privilege permissions using the same Microsoft Entra tools you already use for users—without introducing new governance models.

Approve and scope agent access with accountability, enforce agent-specific Conditional Access in real time, automatically block risky behavior, and ensure every agent always has an owner, even as people change roles or leave.

Leandro Iwase, Microsoft Entra Senior Product Manager shows how to keep agents operating securely, transparently, and predictably across their entire lifecycle.
