The recent announcements from Microsoft regarding Microsoft Entra External ID and Microsoft Entra ID multi-tenant collaboration have brought about a need for more clarity on licensing. The key concept highlighted is the “one person, one license” philosophy, where only one Microsoft Entra ID P1 license is required per employee per multi-tenant organization. This philosophy extends to administrative accounts as well, simplifying governance across multiple tenants.
In the context of Entra ID Governance in Microsoft Entra External ID, a new pricing model has been introduced for actively governed identities of business guests. Priced at $0.75 per actively governed identity per month, this usage-based model ensures fair charges for governance actions taken on business guest identities. The example provided illustrates how charges are applied based on the governance actions performed on a business guest identity.
