Guest users are often the least governed identities in an organisation, yet they frequently hold access to sensitive data through Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, and line-of-business applications. Many organisations avoid applying Identity Governance controls to guests due to licensing concerns or misunderstandings about how billing works.

This lightning session cuts through that confusion. We focus specifically on how Entra ID Identity Governance can be applied to guest accounts using the Monthly Active User (MAU) billing model, enabling governance actions without requiring Entra ID P2 licenses for internal member users.

In a fast-paced, demo-driven format, we show how access packages, entitlement management, access reviews, and lifecycle controls can be targeted at guest users, partners, and external collaborators. We will explain how MAU billing is triggered, how to predict and control costs, and common pitfalls that lead to unexpected charges.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of when guest governance requires licenses, when MAU billing applies, and how to safely govern external identities at scale without over-licensing their tenant.
