Solution Architecture

Users and access request​ Contoso employees, partners, and frontline users access Microsoft 365 apps to stay productive. Their sign-in request first goes through Microsoft Entra ID, where identity and access details are managed centrally.​ Microsoft Entra ID​ In the Microsoft Entra admin center, the admin manages users, reviews account details, and resets passwords when required. This keeps identity operations controlled and helps users regain secure access quickly.​ Admin actions​ The admin can reset a user password, review user properties, monitor sign-in activity, and manage access policies from one place. These actions help Contoso maintain secure user access across Microsoft 365.​ Conditional Access policy​ Conditional Access evaluates signals such as user, device, location, and risk level before granting access. In this demo flow, the policy uses insider risk as a condition and applies stronger control when the user reaches a moderate risk level.​ Allowed and blocked access​ When the user meets security requirements, access to Microsoft 365 apps such as Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive is allowed. When the policy condition is met, access to Sway is blocked to reduce the risk of sensitive information exposure.​ Secure productivity outcome​ With Microsoft 365 E3, Contoso combines identity management, password reset, Conditional Access, and risk-based app control. This helps the organization protect cloud apps while keeping employees productive and secure.
