Microsoft Entra: App Deactivation

Admins or app owners can now safely pause an app’s access to Entra protected resources without deleting it or disrupting configuration. When deactivated, the app and its service principals globally (across tenants) can’t request new tokens and user sign ins are blocked, while existing tokens simply expire on their normal schedule. This makes it easy for admins to temporarily freeze suspicious or unused apps during investigations, bulk cleanup, or tenant hygiene work. This capability will initially be available via Microsoft Graph API.More info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/enterprise-apps/deactivate-application-portal Product Release phase Preview Release date March CY2026Preview date: November CY2025 Platform Web Cloud Instance Worldwide (Standard Multi-Tenant) Created 2026-01-13 00:00:10Z Roadmap ID 545894 Roadmap Link https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=545894
