Microsoft Entra ID P1

Microsoft Entra ID P1 (formerly Azure Active Directory P1) is a foundational identity and access management subscription that helps organisations control who can sign in, from where, and under what conditions. It enables secure access to Microsoft 365, Azure, and third-party SaaS applications through modern controls such as Conditional Access, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Single Sign-On (SSO). If you want to buy Microsoft Entra ID P1 in India for a hybrid or cloud-first environment, this plan is designed to strengthen security while simplifying user access and IT administration.

Overview

Microsoft Entra ID P1 provides core capabilities for managing identities, applications, and access policies across your organisation. It supports cloud-only and hybrid identity models, helping you standardise sign-in experiences for users and improve control for administrators. With self-service options and centralised access management, Entra ID P1 reduces common IT overhead while maintaining enterprise-grade governance.
