One License Per Employee
The most significant enhancement of Entra ID governance is now One License Per employee. In a Multi-Tenant Organization (MTO), when a licensed user from one company’s tenant is invited to collaborate as a guest in another company’s tenant’s network, they can use Microsoft Entra without needing an extra license.
- Each employee in a multi-tenant organization is assigned a single Microsoft Entra ID P1 license.
- That one license also covers the management of the employee’s identity across all the tenants to which they have access.
Note: The licensing model applies to all tenants owned by the organization, not just multi-tenant organizations.
The Impact on the Microsoft Entra External ID
Microsoft’s Entra External ID is a new way to manage customer and partner app access. It benefits business-to-business (B2B) and will help teams work together smoothly and securely. Instead of the usual fixed license fee, Entra External ID uses metered, usage-based pricing.
- This metered, usage-based pricing means the businesses only pay when they manage someone’s access or identity.
- It costs $0.75 each month for each outside person
