Plan for change - Requestors can view who their access package approvers are in My Access
Type: New feature
Service category: Entitlement Management
Product capability: Entitlement Management

By the end of September 2025, requestors will be able to see the name and email address of approvers for their pending access package requests directly in the My Access portal. This feature improves transparency and helps streamline communication between requestors and approvers. At the tenant level, approver visibility is enabled by default for all members (non-guests) and can be controlled through the Entitlement Management settings in the Microsoft Entra Admin Center. At the access package level, admins and access package owners can configure the approver visibility and choose to override the tenant level setting under the advanced request settings in the access package policy.

Public Preview - Externally determine the approval requirements for an access package using custom extensions
Type: New feature
Service category: Entitlement Management
Product capability: Entitlement Management

In Entitlement Management, approvers for access package assignment requests can either be directly assigned, or determined dynamically. Entitlement management natively supports dynamically determining approvers such as the requestors manager, their second-level manager, or a sponsor from a connected organization. With the introduction of this feature you can now use custom extensions for callouts to Azure Logic Apps and dynamically determine approval requirements for each access package assignment request based on your organizations specific business logic. The access package assignment request process will pause until your business logic hosted in Azure Logic Apps returns an approval stage which will then be leveraged in the subsequent approval process via the My Access portal.
