While Microsoft's Entra ID is a powerful identity service, managing it exclusively through the native interface or Graph PowerShell presents significant challenges. Admins often grapple with time-consuming scripting for bulk operations, a lack of granular delegation capabilities, and the absence of a unified console for all management tasks. This approach leads to inefficiencies, potential security loopholes from delayed deprovisioning, and a steep learning curve for new team members. For organizations needing to handle recurring tasks, bulk management, and a centralized, script-free approach to managing their Entra ID environment, a third-party solution is essential.

M365 Manager Plus is a comprehensive Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) management tool that bypasses these limitations. It provides a centralized, no-code interface that handles complex management tasks securely and efficiently, without having to rely on Graph PowerShell scripts.

With M365 Manager Plus, simplify and strengthen your Entra ID management on these fronts:

Microsoft 365 user management  

M365 Manager Plus simplifies user administration by consolidating all essential tasks into a single, intuitive dashboard.

User lifecycle management
