Microsoft Entra Development
Custom Solutions, Automation & Application Migration for Australian Enterprises
Custom Solutions That Extend Entra ID
When out-of-the-box Entra ID capabilities reach their limits, Entraneer's development practice builds the custom solutions that bridge the gap. Every solution follows Microsoft's identity platform best practices, uses managed identities for service authentication, and is designed for supportability by your internal team after handover.

We build custom solutions in your Azure subscription, commit source code to your repository, and hand over everything. You own it all. Our development methodology ensures every solution is production-grade, secure, and maintainable by your team.
Read About Managed Identity PermissionsManaged Identities First
We use managed identities for all service authentication, eliminating client secrets and certificates. Only the specific Microsoft Graph permissions required are assigned, never broad permissions.
Infrastructure as Code
Every solution ships with Bicep or Terraform templates and CI/CD pipeline definitions. Repeatable deployments, version controlled infrastructure, and no manual Azure portal configuration.
C# and TypeScript
Function Apps are built in C# (.NET) or TypeScript with the Microsoft Graph SDK. We choose the stack that best fits your team's existing skills and maintenance capacity.
Knowledge Transfer
Comprehensive technical documentation and hands-on sessions ensure your development or operations team can maintain, troubleshoot, and extend every solution independently.
Deep Capability Areas
Azure Function Apps
Our primary tool for building event-driven and scheduled automation that extends Entra ID. We develop custom lifecycle automation that responds to Microsoft Graph change notifications, automatically provisioning resources when users are created or revoking access when users are terminated. Scheduled functions handle stale account detection, license optimisation, and compliance checks against your policy baselines. Custom API endpoints serve as middleware for systems that do not support SCIM or Microsoft Graph natively, enabling provisioning workflows to reach every application in your environment.
Power Platform Solutions
Logic Apps orchestrate complex identity processes: multi-stage approval workflows for privileged access, automated onboarding that coordinates across HR, ITSM, and communication tools, and incident response automation triggered by Entra ID Protection risk detections. Power Apps provide custom self-service interfaces for guest user management, helpdesk identity tools, and access request portals that integrate with entitlement management. Power BI dashboards visualise governance metrics, sign-in analytics, and compliance posture with row-level security for different stakeholder scopes.
Technologies We Work With
Built on the Microsoft Identity Platform
Every solution we deliver is built on the Microsoft Identity Platform, the unified authentication and authorisation backbone behind Microsoft Entra ID. We use MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) for token acquisition across all supported languages, interact with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect endpoints for standards-based authentication, and leverage Microsoft Graph as the single API surface for identity data and operations. Building on the Microsoft Identity Platform ensures our solutions benefit from continuous security updates, Conditional Access enforcement, and seamless integration with the broader Microsoft ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What programming languages and frameworks do you use for Entra development?
Our primary development stack includes C# (.NET) and TypeScript for Azure Function Apps, the Microsoft Graph SDK for all Entra ID interactions, Power Fx for Power Apps, DAX and M for Power BI, and the Logic Apps workflow definition language. For application migration work, we support a broad range of application frameworks including ASP.NET, Node.js, Java Spring, and Python Flask/Django. All solutions use the Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) for token acquisition and follow Microsoft's identity platform best practices.
How do your custom solutions authenticate to Microsoft Graph?
We use managed identities wherever possible, which eliminates the need to manage client secrets or certificates. For Azure Function Apps and Logic Apps running in Azure, a system-assigned or user-assigned managed identity authenticates directly to Microsoft Graph using the client credentials flow. We assign only the specific Microsoft Graph application permissions required for each solution's functionality, never broad permissions like Directory.ReadWrite.All unless absolutely necessary. For solutions that act on behalf of a user, we implement delegated permission flows with appropriate consent.
Can you migrate applications from ADFS to Entra ID without downtime?
Yes. Our migration approach is designed for zero-downtime transitions. For SAML applications, we configure the application in Entra ID in parallel with the existing ADFS relying party trust, validate the new authentication flow with a test group, and then cut over the DNS or application configuration to point to Entra ID. For applications that support multiple identity providers, we configure Entra ID as an additional provider and gradually shift users. We always maintain a rollback path until the migration is validated and stable.
Do you hand over the source code and deployment pipelines?
Absolutely. Every custom solution we build is delivered with full source code, infrastructure-as-code templates (Bicep or Terraform), CI/CD pipeline definitions, and technical documentation. We deploy into your Azure subscription and your source control repository. You own everything we build. We also conduct knowledge transfer sessions to ensure your development or operations team can maintain, troubleshoot, and extend the solutions independently.
Can you build Power BI dashboards that report on Entra ID data?
Yes. We build Power BI dashboards that connect to Microsoft Graph and Azure Monitor to visualise identity governance metrics, sign-in analytics, Conditional Access policy effectiveness, license utilisation, and compliance posture. Common dashboards include executive identity health scorecards, access review completion tracking, stale account and orphaned guest user reporting, and authentication method registration progress. Dashboards can be published to Power BI workspaces with row-level security so that different stakeholders see only the data relevant to their scope.
