### Public Preview(Refresh) - Custom Extensions in Entitlement Management
70+
71+
**Type:** New feature
72+
**Service category:** Entitlement management
73+
**Product capability:** Identity Governance
74+
75+
Last year we announced the [public preview of custom extensions in Entitlement Management](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-entra-azure-ad-blog/run-custom-workflows-in-azure-ad-entitlement-management/ba-p/2466938) allowing you to automate complex processes when access is requested or about to expire. We have recently expanded the public preview to allow for the access package assignment request to be paused while your external process is running. In addition, the external process can now provide feedback to Entitlement Management to either surface additional information to end users in MyAccess or even stop the access request. This expands the scenarios of custom extension from notifications to additional stakeholders or the generation of tickets to advanced scenarios such as external governance, risk and compliance checks. In the course of this update, we have also improved the audit logs, token security and the payload sent to the Logic App. To learn more about the preview refresh, see:

### General Availability - Managed Identity in Microsoft Authentication Library for .NET
85+
86+
**Type:** New feature
87+
**Service category:** Authentications (Logins)
88+
**Product capability:** User Authentication
89+
90+
The latest version of MSAL.NET graduates the Managed Identity APIs into the General Availability mode of support, which means that developers can integrate them safely in production workloads.
91+
92+
Managed identities are a part of the Azure infrastructure, simplifying how developers handle credentials and secrets to access cloud resources. With Managed Identities, developers do not need to manually handle credential retrieval and security. Instead, they can rely on an automatically managed set of identities to connect to resources that support Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication. You can learn more in [What are managed identities for Azure resources?](../managed-identities-azure-resources/overview.md)
93+
94+
With MSAL.NET 4.54.0, the Managed Identity APIs are now stable. There are a few changes that we added that make them easier to use and integrate that might require tweaking your code if you’ve used our [experimental implementation](https://den.dev/blog/managed-identity-msal-net/):
95+
96+
- When using Managed Identity APIs, developers will need to specify the identity type when creating an [ManagedIdentityApplication](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/microsoft.identity.client.managedidentityapplication?view=msal-dotnet-latest).
97+
- When acquiring tokens with Managed Identity APIs and using the default HTTP client, MSAL retries the request for certain exception codes.
98+
- We added a new [MsalManagedIdentityException](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/microsoft.identity.client.msalmanagedidentityexception?view=msal-dotnet-latest) class that represents any Managed Identity-related exceptions. It includes general exception information, including the Azure source from which the exception originates.
99+
- MSAL will now proactively refresh tokens acquired with Managed Identity.
100+
101+
To get started with Managed Identity in MSAL.NET, you can use the [Microsoft.Identity.Client](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/microsoft.identity.client?view=msal-dotnet-latest) package together with the [ManagedIdentityApplicationBuilder](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/microsoft.identity.client.managedidentityapplicationbuilder?view=msal-dotnet-latest) class.

The ability for users to create tenants from the Manage Tenant overview has been present in Azure AD since almost the beginning of the Azure portal. This new capability in the User Settings blade allows admins to restrict their users from being able to create new tenants. There's also a new [Tenant Creator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#tenant-creator) role to allow specific users to create tenants. For more information, see [Default user permissions](../fundamentals/users-default-permissions.md#restrict-member-users-default-permissions).

Authenticator Lite is an additional surface for Azure Active Directory users to complete multifactor authentication using push notifications on their Android or iOS device. With Authenticator Lite, users can satisfy a multifactor authentication requirement from the convenience of a familiar app. Authenticator Lite is currently enabled in the Outlook mobile app. Users may receive a notification in their Outlook mobile app to approve or deny, or use the Outlook app to generate an OATH verification code that can be entered during sign-in. The *'Microsoft managed'* setting for this feature will be set to enabled on May 26th, 2023. This enables the feature for all users in tenants where the feature is set to Microsoft managed. If you wish to change the state of this feature, please do so before May 26th, 2023. For more information, see: [How to enable Microsoft Authenticator Lite for Outlook mobile (preview)](../authentication/how-to-mfa-authenticator-lite.md).
