A global company uses Microsoft Entra ID and has implemented entitlement management. They frequently collaborate with external partners who require temporary access to specific applications. These partners manage their own identities in their respective Microsoft Entra tenants. The company wants to streamline the process of granting and revoking access for these external partners. Which feature in entitlement management allows the company to establish trust with partner organizations to automate access for their users?

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Connected organizations

Why the other options are wrong
- A. Lifecycle workflows automate tasks like onboarding/offboarding, but connected organizations are foundational for managing external identities.
- B. Access packages are bundles of resources, but they rely on connected organizations for external user provisioning.
- D. Access reviews are for regularly re-certifying access, not for establishing initial trust or provisioning external users.
