What else is coming for Entra?

Roadmap: Entra →Message Center: Entra →

Microsoft Entra ID now supports applying Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels to Entra cloud security groups in public preview.

Administrators can use labels to govern security group settings such as guest access using the same labels and policies that apply to Microsoft 365 groups today.

Labels can be managed in Microsoft Purview and applied through the Microsoft Entra Admin Center, Azure portal, and Microsoft Graph. For more information, see: Assign sensitivity labels to Microsoft Entra security groups (preview).
