This series of articles offer guidance for employing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as a centralized identity management system for implementing Zero Trust principles as described by the US Federal Government’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) [Memorandum M-22-09](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/M-22-09.pdf). Throughout this document. We refer to it as “The memo.”

## Role-based access controls

Role based access control (RBAC role) remains an important way to enforce basic authorizations through assignments of users to a role in a particular scope. Azure AD has tools that make RBAC assignment and lifecycle management easier. This includes assigning access using [entitlement management](../governance/entitlement-management-overview.md) features, include [Access Packages](..y/governance/entitlement-management-access-package-create.md) and [Access Reviews](../governance/access-reviews-overview.md). These ease the burden of managing authorizations by providing self-service requests and automated functions to managed the lifecycle, for example by automatically ending access based of specific criteria.

You can configure [authentication context](../conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-cloud-apps.md) within Conditional Access Policies. This allows you to, for example, restrict which actions a user can take within an application or on specific data. These authentication contexts are then mapped within the data source itself. Data sources can be office files like word and excel or SharePoint sites that use mapped to your authentication context. An example of this integration is shown [here](%20/sharepoint/authentication-context-example).

You can also leverage authentication context assigned to data directly in your applications. This requires integration with the application code and [developers](%20../develop/developer-guide-conditional-access-authentication-context.md) to adopt this capability. Authentication context integration with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps can be used to control [actions taken on data using session controls](%20/defender-cloud-apps/session-policy-aad?branch=pr-en-us-2082). Dynamic groups mentioned previously when combined with Authentication context allow you to control user access mappings between the data and the user attributes.

Azure includes [ABAC for Storage](../../azure/role-based-access-control/conditions-overview.md) which allows the assignment of metadata tags on data stored in an Azure blob storage account. This metadata can then be assigned to users using role assignments to grant access. Other Azure services will incorporate this feature in the future.

## Privileged Access Management

The memo specifically calls out the use of privileged access management tools that leverage single factor ephemeral credentials for accessing systems as insufficient. These technologies often include password vault products that accept MFA logon for an admin and produce a generated password for an alternate account used to access the system. The system being accessed is still accessed with a single factor. Microsoft has tools for implementing [Privileged identity management](..%20/privileged-identity-management/pim-configure.md) (PIM) for privileged systems with the central identity management system of Azure AD. Using the methods described in the MFA section you can enforce MFA for most privileged systems directly, whether these are applications, infrastructure, or devices. Azure also features PIM capabilities to step up into a specific privileged role. This requires implementation of PIM with Azure AD identities and identifying those systems that are privileged and require additional protections to prevent lateral movement. Configuration guidance is located [here](../privileged-identity-management/pim-deployment-plan.md).
