Guest licensing guidance was clarified; the remaining Entra updates are primarily documentation maintenance

On 14 February 2026, all five reported changes were updates to Microsoft Learn documentation, with no new, retired, or Message Center items. The most consequential clarification concerns Microsoft Entra ID Governance guest-user billing. Two other updates document GitHub Enterprise Server just-in-time provisioning support and a Global Secure Access configuration step. The External ID supported-features page and Entra Cloud Sync support-matrix excerpt do not provide enough detail to establish a specific capability or availability change.

• ID Governance · Governance

  ID Governance guest-user billing rules were clarified

  The updated guidance states that guest users are billed only when they actively use features exclusive to Microsoft Entra ID Governance. It also says Microsoft Entra P2 features are not billed, linking an Azure subscription is neither required nor enforced for P2 actions, and a guest is not billed in a month with no active governance-related action. This is a licensing clarification, not evidence of a new feature or pricing launch.

• Entra ID · Provisioning

  Entra ID documentation now calls out GitHub Enterprise Server JIT provisioning

  The updated SSO and provisioning guidance states that GitHub Enterprise Server supports just-in-time user provisioning. Administrators using this integration should compare that documented support with their current provisioning design; the evidence does not establish when the support became available or indicate a rollout change.

• Global Secure Access · Developer

  Global Secure Access configuration navigation was clarified

  The Configure Domain Controllers procedure now directs administrators, in the Quick Access example, to select Users and groups on the application settings page. This is a procedural documentation clarification and does not by itself demonstrate changed access behavior or a new capability.
