In today’s digital landscape, managing privileged access to applications is crucial for maintaining security and compliance. Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) offers a robust solution to manage, control, and monitor access within your organization. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of configuring Microsoft Entra PIM for your application, Delegate365, ensuring that only authorized users can access it through a security group. Delegate365 is equipped with robust security features and offers seamless integration with Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management right out of the box. This integration ensures that administrators can only access Delegate365 using their standard work accounts when the PIM role is activated. Without activating the PIM role, access to Delegate365 is denied. ...

Our Governance Toolkit 365 (GT365) provides information and automation solutions for a Microsoft 365 tenant. In order to use the functions, this app must be approved by an administrator. In addition, new solutions are constantly being added. Some of these also require new permissions. You can find out how you as an administrator can grant and renew these permissions here. GT365 requires an app “Governance Toolkit 365” that reads the data from the M365 tenant and collects it for further actions. An administrator must approve this app so that the functions can be used. There are the following functions that administrators can perform: ...

In Delegate365, there exist two methods to configure Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) for users: the functions “Authentication methods (MFA)”, and “MFA (Legacy)”. See the difference here, and how to disable the “MFA (Legacy)” feature. Authentication Methods (MFA): This is Microsoft’s modern MFA setting method. Delegate365 allows you to remove authentication methods for a user, so the user will have to reconfigure their MFA if they are removed. MFA (Legacy): This method is deprecated, which is why we called it “Legacy.” It requires a service account without MFA to work, and will stop working after March 2025, see Important update: Deprecation of Azure AD PowerShell and MSOnline PowerShell modules. Therefore, this feature is only present for historical reasons. If it is not needed, we recommend disabling it as below. ...

As reported in most media, we would like to inform you about a global outage caused by a erroneous software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike today, on July 19th. This Endpoint security solution is used in many organizations, from hospitals to tech companies, education, airports and many other industries. Crowdstrike rolled out an update to its customers that caused Windows 10 computers to crash, see the CrowdStrike Statement on Falcon Content Update for Windows Hosts. The affected computers no longer start correctly, but instead produce a Windows BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death). Such computers are getting stuck at the “Recovery” screen. See how to resolve this if your Windows computer is affected by the CrowdStrike update. ...

Microsoft is rolling out the new Teams v2 client. This is now a Single Page Application (SPA), which means generated deep links no longer work. Unfortunately, this also affects the GT365 solution 09 and 11, e.g. to open the settings of a team and the management of members with a button. Here you can find out why this is the case and what workarounds are possible. This means that a direct link like https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/#/teamDashboard/[team-name]/[team-.id]/td.members now always leads to https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/ and the user ends up in the chat area. This is undesirable, but unfortunately cannot be changed because Microsoft no longer supports direct links in the Teams v2 client due to the new SPA architecture. For Governance Toolkit 365 customers, see also the news entry in the GT365 admin portal. ...
