Agent ID guidance now directs provisioning through identity blueprints, not app registrations
14 August produced no new or removed entries and was dominated by documentation maintenance, particularly across Microsoft Entra Agent ID. The most consequential update clarifies that agents should use identity blueprints and the #Microsoft.Graph.AgentIdentity object rather than standard application-registration APIs. Other notable edits clarify Identity Protection remediation, dynamic-group treatment of agent accounts, replica-set networking, and a Windows passkey preview label; none of the supplied diffs independently announces a new feature or general availability.
- Agent ID provisioning guidance moves to identity blueprints
Agent ID · Architecture
The architecture guidance now directs administrators to create agents from an agent identity blueprint and the #Microsoft.Graph.AgentIdentity object, rather than through standard application-registration APIs. It also documents supported creation channels, roles, permissions, and .NET usage. This is a guidance clarification, not a separately announced launch.
- Identity Protection clarifies the attacker-added-device response
ID Protection · Authentication
The Identity Protection Policies article replaces “Device disablement” with “Attacker-added device” and spells out the documented response: the Entra device object is disabled, new token issuance is blocked, device-bound refresh tokens are revoked, and user sessions are revoked. The supplied change clarifies the remediation scope rather than announcing a new control.
- Dynamic-group guidance now covers agent user accounts
Entra ID · General
Microsoft Entra ID guidance now explains that agent user accounts are evaluated by user-based membership rules and are not distinguished from other users by default. Administrators can explicitly include or exclude them, including accounts associated with a particular agent identity blueprint.
- Replica-set guidance makes full virtual-network meshing explicit
Entra ID · Fundamentals
The replica-set documentation now states that all virtual networks hosting replica sets must be connected. It also specifies that replica sets are deployed in one Active Directory site and depend on a fully meshed virtual-network topology, clarifying a deployment prerequisite.
- Windows passkey registration loses its preview label
Entra ID · Authentication
The “Register a Microsoft Entra passkey on Windows” page no longer includes “(preview)” in its title or heading. No procedural change is shown, and the supplied diff does not explicitly announce general availability or a product launch.
This period briefing was generated by AI from the tracked Microsoft Learn and Message Center changes.

Microsoft Entra ID
7 updatesThe page title and heading no longer include “(preview).” No other change is shown, and the diff does not explicitly announce general availability or a product launch.
The documentation now consistently uses “Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar)” and expands “SPA” to “single-page application.” The described authentication flows and responsibilities are otherwise unchanged in the supplied diff.
The local-development article now consistently uses “Microsoft Entra ID Auth SDK (sidecar)” instead of “Microsoft Entra Auth SDK,” including its title, description, intent, link text, and container description.
Concepts Replica Sets
Doc updateThe documentation now states that replica sets require connectivity between all virtual networks hosting them. They are deployed in one Active Directory site and rely on a fully meshed virtual network topology for directory replication.
The article now explains that agent user accounts are evaluated by user-based membership rules and can join dynamic user groups. By default, they are not distinguished from other user identities; rules can explicitly exclude or include them, including accounts tied to a specific agent identity blueprint.
The tutorial now explains that `{enterprise}` in the GitHub.com SCIM tenant URL is the enterprise slug (account name).
