+
+- __Object ID__ – A unique identifier for the identity in Entra ID.
+
+- __Source__ – Indicates whether the identity is on-premises (originate from Active Directory), Cloud only (Entra ID) or Hybrid (synced from AD to Entra ID).
+
+- __Type__ – Specifies if the identity is a user account or service account.
+
+- __UPN (User Principal Name)__ – The unique login name of the identity in an email-like format.
+
+- __Tags__ – Custom labels that help categorize or classify identities: Sensitive and Honeytoken.
+
+- __Created time__ – The timestamp when the identity was first created.
+
+- __Criticality level__ – Indicates the critical level of the identity.
+
+- __Account status__ – Shows whether the identity is enabled or disabled.
+
+- __Last updated__ – The timestamp of the most recent update to the identity's attributes in Active Directory.
+
+Non-default columns: Email and Entra ID risk level.

+### Identity inventory insights 
+
+- The __Classify critical assets__ card allows you to define identity groups as business critical. For more information, see [Microsoft Security Exposure Management](/security-exposure-management/microsoft-security-exposure-management). 
+
+- **Highly privileged identities** card helps you investigate in Advanced hunting all sensitive accounts in your organization, including Entra ID security administrators and Global admin users.
+
+- **Critical Active Directory service accounts** card helps you quickly identify all Active Directory accounts designated as critical, making it easier to focus on identities most at risk.
+
+At the top of each device inventory tab, the following device counts are available:
+
+- __Total__: The total number of identities. 
+
+- __Critical:__ The number of your critical assets. 
+
+- **Disabled:** The number of all disabled identities in your organization. 
+
+- **Services:** The number of all service accounts both on-premises and cloud.
+
+You can use this information to help you prioritize devices for security posture improvements.
