Entitlement Management

Microsoft Entra Entitlement Management is the Identity Governance feature for packaging access to apps, groups, SharePoint sites, and Teams into access packages that users can request through a self-service catalog. Each package has policies — who can request, who approves, how long access lasts, requirements like training completion, periodic recertification. Replaces the pattern of "email IT for access to X" with a structured request-and-approval workflow that's audited end-to-end. Often used for project-based access (joining a project gets you the relevant package, leaving removes everything at once), partner / contractor onboarding, and regulatory recertification. Part of Microsoft Entra ID Governance licensing.
