What Are Protected Actions?
Protected Actions act as an additional security layer that prevents unauthorized or accidental deletions of vital Entra ID objects. Once enabled, specific high-risk actions—such as permanently deleting a user, group, or application—require explicit administrator approval or extra authentication steps before they can be executed.
Key Features of Protected Actions:
Prevention of Hard Deletions: Users, groups, and
applications cannot be permanently removed without additional security
measures.
Enhanced Security Policies: Organizations can define
policies to protect sensitive identities.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Support: Only authorized
personnel can approve or override protected actions.
Audit and Logging: Every protected action is logged,
providing visibility into identity management activities.
Why This Matters
Accidental deletions of users or critical applications can lead to major disruptions in business operations, compliance issues, and security risks. By implementing Protected Actions, Microsoft Entra ID helps organizations:
✔ Maintain Business Continuity –
Prevents loss of access due to accidental or malicious deletions.
✔ Improve Compliance &
Governance – Supports regulatory compliance by adding an extra layer of
protection.
✔ Enhance Security Posture – Reduces risks associated with privilege escalation and insider threats.
How Organizations Can Benefit
IT administrators can leverage Protected Actions to enforce stricter control over identity management, ensuring that only authorized personnel can execute irreversible changes. The feature also aligns with Microsoft’s ongoing Zero Trust security strategy, minimizing risks associated with human errors and security breaches.
