Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) manages and monitors access to Microsoft Entra roles and Microsoft Azure roles. Access to Azure resources and Microsoft online services is on-demand and time-restricted.
Users can request privileged roles online. An administrator can approve or deny the request afterwards. The role removes automatically after the specified duration expires.

Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) can minimize the following risks:

Number of users and their authorization duration on privileged roles are reduced to a minimum
Users are better protected against accidental compromise of sensitive data. (no unnecessary privileged roles when they are not needed).
Attackers do not get privileged access

This guide configures Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for Microsoft Entra roles and Microsoft Azure roles.
