Elimity for Microsoft Entra ID
Full identity visibility for your Entra ID tenant, including every non-human identity it holds
Microsoft Entra ID is the front door to almost everything your organisation runs on: users and guests, nested groups, privileged directory roles, service principals, and app registrations holding standing permissions. Most identity governance tools stop at provisioning and never look inside that structure. Elimity connects to Entra ID and turns it into part of your identity data graph, so every account, group membership, and credential resolves to an accountable human and every access decision holds up under audit.
Access Challenges in Microsoft Entra ID
Directory role sprawl
Global Administrator and other privileged directory roles get handed out during migrations and projects, then never revisited. Months later, nobody can say with confidence who still holds tenant-wide control.
Service principals and secrets with no owner
App registrations, client secrets, and certificates grant standing access to your tenant and its data. They rarely map back to a specific human or team, and they almost never appear in a regular access review.
Opaque application consent
Once a user or admin consents to an application, the Graph permissions it holds over mail, files, and directory data become hard to reason about outside the Entra portal itself.
Nested group and dynamic membership drift
Access is granted through groups that nest into other groups, with dynamic rules layered on top. Effective access no longer matches what anyone intended, and it rarely gets checked again after setup.
No link to your HR source of truth
When someone changes role or leaves the company, their group memberships, privileged roles, and any app registrations they own don't automatically get flagged for review.

Audit-Ready Evidence
Exportable access review history mapped to the frameworks your organisation is actually held to.

Access control and periodic review evidence (Annex A) across users, groups, and privileged roles.
Visibility into which identities and applications can reach personal data through granted permissions.
Works alongside your existing stack
Elimity doesn't replace your IGA or provisioning workflows. SailPoint and Omada were built to manage human joiners, movers, and leavers, not the nested groups, privileged directory roles, and service principals that accumulate inside a tenant like Entra ID. Elimity sits alongside your IGA and adds the depth it was never designed to capture, without touching how you already provision access.
