Activity Rule

The activity rule monitors sign-in activity for enterprise applications and triggers non-compliance when applications haven't been used recently. This powerful rule helps identify unused integrations, optimize licenses, and reduce security risks.

App Registration Policies

App Registration policies enforce governance standards across all app registrations in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Use policies to ensure applications meet organizational requirements for ownership, accountability, and compliance.

Enterprise Application Policies

Enterprise Application policies govern service principals and third-party integrations in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Unlike app registrations, enterprise applications often represent external services and integrations, making it crucial to maintain clear ownership and monitor usage.

Maintain Accountability with Ownership

This guide explains how to establish and maintain clear ownership of applications to ensure accountability and manage organizational changes effectively.

Manage

The Manage section of EasyLife 365 Identity provides administrators with a centralized, policy-driven view of all applications in their environment.

Overview

Policies are essential for configuring governance within your Microsoft Entra ID applications. They provide a means to apply rules and regulations, enabling you to maintain compliance and security standards across your app registrations and enterprise applications.

Ownership

Without clear ownership, applications become orphaned—nobody knows who created them, why they exist, or who should fix them when something goes wrong. This creates security risks, compliance gaps, and operational chaos when credentials expire or policies require action.

Ownership Rules

Ownership rules ensure that every application in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant has clearly defined accountability. These rules require a minimum number of owners and are the foundation of effective application governance.

Policies

The Policies page in the admin portal is the central place where administrators view, create, and manage governance policies in EasyLife 365 Identity.

Policies

As application portfolios grow, manual governance becomes impossible. Without enforced standards, applications lose their owners, integrations sit unused consuming licenses, and your Entra ID tenant fills with unaccountable, potentially risky applications that nobody maintains.
