Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM)

Entra ID feature providing just-in-time, time-bound and approval-based activation of privileged Entra and Azure roles.

Definition

PIM lets administrators be eligible rather than permanently assigned to roles, requiring activation with MFA, justification and optional approval for a limited time. It provides audit history, alerts and access reviews, and requires Entra ID P2 or Microsoft Entra ID Governance licensing.

Example

An engineer activates the Owner role on a production subscription for two hours after manager approval.

Exam tip

Just-in-time privileged access and eliminating standing admin rights point to PIM.
