Updated> For this flag to take effect, it must be applied to a new registration. It will not impact devices that have already been registered unless they re-register.
Day in brief
Entra ID updates clarify EAM enrollment and Apple SSO scope; PIM query guidance is documented
The 6 August feed contains documentation updates only—no new or removed items—and provides no evidence of a feature launch, preview, general availability change, or retirement. The most consequential clarification covers external authentication method (EAM) registration: users may need to select External Auth methods and authenticate with their EAM provider. Apple SSO guidance explicitly limits a flag's effect to new registrations or devices that re-register. Copilot guidance describes PIM management and monitoring through natural-language queries, but does not establish availability or release status. The remaining Active Directory Domain Services groups edit only identifies an author and has no evidenced configuration impact.
- EAM registration flow clarified
Entra ID · AuthenticationThe Entra ID authentication guidance says the registration wizard helps users register the EAMs enabled for them. When other authentication methods are enabled, users may need to choose “I want to set up a different method” > “External Auth methods,” then authenticate with their EAM provider to register the EAM in Microsoft Entra ID. This is a registration-flow clarification, not evidence of a new EAM release or tenant configuration change.
- Apple SSO flag applies to new registrations
Entra ID · GeneralThe Apple SSO plugin documentation clarifies that the flag must be applied during a new registration and does not affect already registered devices unless they re-register. Administrators evaluating an Apple SSO rollout should therefore distinguish newly registered devices from the existing registered population.
- PIM is documented as a Copilot natural-language-query scenario
Entra ID · FundamentalsThe Entra security scenarios guidance lists Privileged Identity Management (PIM) as a way to manage and monitor privileged access using natural-language queries. The supplied update does not state that this represents a new launch, preview, general availability change, licensing change, or availability expansion.

When a user signs in, a registration wizard helps them register the EAMs they're enabled to use. If they are enabled for other authentication methods, they might need to select **I want to set up a different method** > **External Auth methods** to proceed. They need to authenticate with their EAM provider to register the EAM in Microsoft Entra ID.
