With Conditional Access for Agent ID (Preview) in Entra ID, the same Zero Trust controls we apply to users and apps can now be enforced on agent identities and agent users. In simple terms, agents are evaluated, governed, and blocked using policies, rather than being blindly trusted.
Conditional Access actually applies when:
โ
An agent identity accesses a resource
โ
An agent user accesses a resource
But it doesnโt interfere with agent creation or internal token exchange flows.
This boundary is intentional to not break agent lifecycle operations.
This is useful for two scenarios:
๐๐ปAllowing only approved agents to access sensitive resources, using blueprints or custom attributes.
๐๐ปAutomatically blocking high-risk agents using Entra ID Protection signals.
Also, the addition of clear visibility through sign-in logs is a good thing. You can finally see why a policy is applied or didnโt.
โ
Agent identities โ Service principal sign-ins
โ
Agent users โ Non-interactive user sign-ins
