Administrative Units in Entra ID

Entra ID administrative units enable delegated management of users and groups. In this illustration, three administrative units have been created to divide up an organization’s users in Europe, North America, and the rest of the world. Administrative units will most typically be used to subdivide management obligations along geographic, subsidiary, department, or other arbitrary organizational dividing lines. Administrative units enable some separation of management for users and groups without the complexity of setting up an entirely new Entra ID and Microsoft 365 tenancy, preventing significant management, collaboration, and licensing challenges.
