Hybrid identity governance

Govern on-premises AD with Entra.

Extend Entra governance to on-premises Active Directory

Bring request, approval, assignment, review, expiry, and evidence patterns to the AD groups and legacy access that still matter.

Explore solution Talk to UNIFY
Cloud governance Use Entra Identity Governance patterns for access requests, approvals, reviews, and lifecycle policy.
On-premises scope Keep Active Directory groups and legacy entitlements inside the same governance conversation.
Audit-ready evidence Capture the decision trail needed for access certification, compliance, and risk reporting.

The gap

Cloud governance loses value when AD access is out of scope.

Many teams have moved access requests, approvals, and reviews into Microsoft Entra, while critical access still lands in on-premises Active Directory groups.

UNIFY extends modern governance patterns into that hybrid reality, so cloud policy and AD outcomes can be managed as one operating model.

Operating model

Request, assign, review, expire, and prove access without leaving AD behind.

The solution connects Entra governance decisions to the on-premises groups and resources that still carry business access, risk, and audit obligations.

Governed AD access

Request

Route access requests through policy-aware approval paths.

Assign

Provision approved access to the right AD groups and connected resources.

Review

Run periodic access reviews before excessive access becomes normal.

Expire

Remove temporary or stale entitlements without waiting for manual clean-up.

Prove

Keep access decisions, exceptions, and remediation available as evidence.

Capabilities

What the solution enables.

Practical controls for hybrid estates where Entra ID, Active Directory, and connected systems all shape access.

AD identity governance

Extend Entra governance controls to Active Directory so on-premises groups and resources are covered by the same access discipline as cloud applications.

AD entitlement management

Automate request workflows, assignment, approval, expiry, and lifecycle handling for access that still lands in on-premises AD.

AD access reviews

Use recurring reviews to confirm group memberships and role assignments remain appropriate as people, teams, and risk change.

Dynamic group alignment

Align Entra dynamic group outcomes to AD so birthright access can stay consistent across cloud and on-premises environments.

Lifecycle integration

Use UNIFYConnect to keep identity data, entitlement changes, and downstream provisioning aligned across connected systems.

Extensible controls

Adapt connectors, transformations, rules, reporting, and remediation paths to fit complex enterprise identity environments.

Architecture

Entra makes the decision. UNIFYConnect carries it into the hybrid estate.

The value is not another isolated tool. It is a control path that connects governance policy to the directories, groups, and systems where access is actually enforced.
