What is caf-identity-access-management?

A design guide for identity and access management in Azure landing zones, which are structured foundations for Azure environments. It covers Microsoft Entra ID, permissions, just-in-time administrator access, login rules, and hybrid identity.

Designing Azure permissions and custom roles, Privileged Identity Management, Conditional Access and MFA, identity infrastructure, workload identities, and emergency accounts.

It helps teams decide who can access cloud resources, what they can do, and how privileged access is controlled and protected.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00191	$0.01082
Opus 5.5	$0.00076	$0.00433
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00038	$0.00216
Haiku 4.5	$0.00019	$0.00108

Security

Grade A, and why

caf-identity-access-management scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Identity and access management

Overview

Identity is the primary security perimeter of a cloud estate. This design area defines how Microsoft Entra ID authenticates and authorizes access across the landing zone: how privileged access is granted just-in-time, how RBAC is structured at scale, and where identity infrastructure (e.g. domain controllers, Entra Connect) lives. In the conceptual ALZ architecture a dedicated Identity subscription under the Platform management group hosts identity services.

When to use this skill

Designing the RBAC model (built-in vs custom roles, assignment scope at management-group level).
Planning privileged access with PIM (eligible roles, approval, time-bound activation).
Defining Conditional Access baselines and MFA for admins and users.
Placing identity infrastructure (domain controllers, Entra Connect/Cloud Sync) in Azure.
Choosing identities for workloads (managed identities over service principals/secrets).
Establishing emergency access ("break-glass") accounts.

Key concepts

Identity subscription — platform subscription in the Identity management group for domain controllers, Entra Connect, and related identity services (when needed).
Azure RBAC vs Entra roles — Azure RBAC controls access to resources; Entra roles control directory functions (e.g. Global Administrator). They are separate planes.
PIM (Privileged Identity Management) — just-in-time, time-bound, approval-gated activation of privileged roles; pairs with access reviews.
Custom roles — create only when no built-in role fits; over-customization is a maintenance burden. Assign roles at the management group scope for inheritance where appropriate.
Managed identity — Azure-managed credential for workloads; prefer it over service principals with secrets to eliminate secret handling.
Conditional Access — policy engine that enforces MFA, device, and risk conditions.
Hybrid identity — synchronizing on-premises AD to Entra ID via Entra Connect / Cloud Sync.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
