Working with Microsoft Entra Searches
On Demand Audit provides numerous Microsoft Entra built in searches that allow you to locate and report on the Microsoft Entra data. If required, you can also easily create custom searches to locate specific information that is of interest to you.
There are numerous columns, filters, and pre-defined values that you can use to help you find the information you need to secure your environment.

Additional filters
You can, for example, create a search for all group membership events and see distinct events for both the group you are adding a user to and the user you are adding to the group. Using the target to filter your searches allows you to pinpoint the activity by specific users, and changes to critical groups and roles. See Appendix A: Working with search columns and filters for a complete list of available filters.
Auditing risk events
On Demand Audit captures both the risk event as well as when an administrator takes action on the detected risk.
|
|
IMPORTANT: To capture and view this information, ensure that you have enabled auditing of the Microsoft Entra - Audit Logs module. |
This following information is listed in the Microsoft Entra risk event's activity.:
- "New risk event detected" event when the Microsoft Entra Identity Protection portal creates a new risk event.
- "Admin dismisses risk event", "Admin reactivates risk" event, and "Admin resolves risk" when the Microsoft audit logs creates an event for an administrator's actions.
