Native Authentication guidance gains setup and model clarifications; cross-tenant custom-role documentation also updated

The 22 November period contains three Microsoft Learn documentation updates: two covering Native Authentication and one covering Cross Tenant Custom Roles. The clearest substantive edit adds guidance for associating an app registration with a user flow in External ID. The evidence indicates documentation clarification, not a new feature launch, preview, general availability announcement, retirement, security advisory, or confirmed runtime behavior change.

  External ID Native Authentication documentation adds app-registration and user-flow guidance

  The Native Authentication API page now includes guidance to associate an app registration with the user flow. This is an implementation-documentation change; the evidence does not indicate that the API, user flow, or availability changed. Teams implementing this setup should review the linked procedure.

• Entra ID · Authentication

  Entra ID Native Authentication documentation updates the authentication comparison

  The Native Authentication page updates a comparison covering browser-delegated authentication and native authentication. This clarifies the documented distinction between the approaches, but does not by itself establish a new capability or behavior change.

• External ID · General

  External ID cross-tenant custom-role documentation updates its Actions table

  The Cross Tenant Custom Roles page has an updated Actions table. The supplied excerpt does not identify which actions changed, so no specific role, permission, or tenant-configuration impact can be inferred from this update alone.
