To access resources that are secured by an Microsoft Entra ID tenant, the entity that requires access must be represented by a security principal. This requirement is true for both users (user principal) and applications (service principal). The security principal defines the access policy and permissions for the user/application in the Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
There is an information I found on the HomePage and not on this one :
“If you want to enable additional cloud governance features (for example, […] managing the life cycle of Service Principals as “accounts”) for your Azure Cloud Objects, you must have a CIEM license”
Do we need extra licenses ?
Hi Dylan, some cloud governance features require the additional license. Managing Service Principals as accounts no longer requires an additional license. For more information on features requiring a CIEM license, refer to Group Management for Azure Cloud Objects.
