# SKILL: Creating Agent Users in Microsoft Entra Agent ID ## Overview An **agent user** is a specialized user identity in Microsoft Entra ID that enables AI agents to act as digital workers. It allows agents to access APIs and services that strictly require user identities (e.g., Exchange mailboxes, Teams, org charts), while maintaining appropriate security boundaries. Agent users receive tokens with `idtyp=user`, unlike regular agent identities which receive `idtyp=app`. --- ## Prerequisites - A **Microsoft Entra tenant** with Agent ID capabilities - An **agent identity** (service principal of type `ServiceIdentity`) created from an **agent identity blueprint** - One of the following **permissions**: - `AgentIdUser.ReadWrite.IdentityParentedBy` (least privileged) - `AgentIdUser.ReadWrite.All` - `User.ReadWrite.All` - The caller must have at minimum the **Agent ID Administrator** role (in delegated scenarios) > **Important:** The `identityParentId` must reference a true agent identity (created via an agent identity blueprint), NOT a regular application service principal. You can verify by checking that the service principal has `@odata.type: #microsoft.graph.agentIdentity` and `ser

Create Agent Users in Microsoft Entra ID from Agent Identities, enabling AI agents to act as digital workers with user identity capabilities in Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add github/awesome-copilot --skill entra-agent-user --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From github/awesome-copilot, a repository with 37,432 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
