Entra ID
Your AI Agent Just Got a Mailbox: Onboard It Like an Employee, Offboard It Like One Too
On 15 October 2026 Microsoft announced account-based agents for Copilot Studio, rolling out through its Frontier programme. NeoTeo’s report says a published agent gets its own Microsoft Entra ID identity, a mailbox and a Microsoft 365 presence. It can start work from an incoming email or a schedule, with no one typing a prompt. That describes an employee-shaped object. Most IT teams have a joiner-mover-leaver (JML) process for people and none for this.
