Create a Temporary Access Pass in Azure

Azure's Temporary Access Pass is a dynamic feature designed to simplify access management within the Azure environment. It enables administrators to grant short-term access to users without the need for long-lasting credentials. Ideal for scenarios like onboarding new team members, collaborating with external partners, or addressing specific projects, Temporary Access Pass allows for precise control over access duration and permissions. This ensures a secure and agile approach to managing user access, minimizing the risk associated with prolonged exposure to sensitive credentials in the cloud.
