The Microsoft identity and access administrator uses Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), a component of Microsoft Entra, to develop, build, and manage an organization's identity and access management systems. For people, devices, Azure resources, and applications, they configure and manage identity authentication and authorization. In order to support the zero trust principles, Identity and Access Administators make sure that identification is clearly validated. They use PowerShell to automate Azure AD management and Kusto Query Language to examine events (KQL). They are also in charge of maintaining the identity and access environment's monitoring, reporting, and troubleshooting systems.
