(Relevant article based on post: “Use Custom Extensions for Access Package approval in Entra” by Daniel Bradley)
You Should Know:
Microsoft Entra ID Governance enables organizations to manage access packages with custom extensions for approval workflows. Below are key commands and steps to implement and verify this setup.
PowerShell: Create a Custom Extension for Access Package Approval
Install required module Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Graph.Identity.Governance -Force Connect to Microsoft Graph Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "EntitlementManagement.ReadWrite.All" Define custom extension properties $params = @{ DisplayName = "CustomApprovalExtension" Description = "Triggers custom approval workflow" EndpointConfiguration = @{ "@odata.type" = "microsoft.graph.logicAppTriggerEndpointConfiguration" SubscriptionId = "YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID" ResourceGroupName = "YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP" LogicAppWorkflowName = "CustomApprovalWorkflow" } } Create the custom extension New-MgEntitlementManagementAccessPackageAssignmentApproval -BodyParameter $params
Azure CLI: Verify Logic App Integration
az logic workflow show \ --name CustomApprovalWorkflow \ --resource-group YOUR_RESOURCE_GROUP
Linux/Mac: Test API Connectivity (Using cURL)
curl -X GET \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $(az account get-access-token --query accessToken -o tsv)" \ "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/identityGovernance/entitlementManagement/accessPackageAssignmentApprovals"
Expected Output:
{ "value": [ { "id": "APPROVAL_ID", "displayName": "CustomApprovalExtension", "status": "Pending" } ] }
What Undercode Say:
Custom extensions in Microsoft Entra ID Governance enhance security by enforcing granular approval workflows. Automation via PowerShell, Azure Logic Apps, and Microsoft Graph API ensures compliance while reducing manual overhead.
Prediction:
As identity governance evolves, expect deeper AI-driven approvals (e.g., Copilot analyzing access requests) and cross-platform integrations (AWS/GCP via Entra).
Expected Output:
- Verified PowerShell/Azure CLI commands for custom extensions.
- API testing steps for Linux/macOS.
- Future trends in AI-augmented identity governance.
