## The current IT problem: passkey profile auto-migration + “AI helpdesk” risk

Microsoft Entra ID is rolling out **passkey profiles** in **March 2026** , with **automatic tenant migration starting April–May 2026** for orgs that don’t opt in. ([alttabtowork.com](https://alttabtowork.com/2026/02/17/passkeys-in-entra-id-whats-changing-in-march-2026-and-what-you-should-do-now/?utm_source=openai))

That’s good for security, but it creates a very real ops problem:

- Identity teams need to **review/choose profile settings** (device-bound vs synced passkeys, attestation, restrictions) before auto-migration. ([alttabtowork.com](https://alttabtowork.com/2026/02/17/passkeys-in-entra-id-whats-changing-in-march-2026-and-what-you-should-do-now/?utm_source=openai))
- Helpdesks will get flooded with “my passkey stopped working” tickets.
- The dangerous part: teams will be tempted to let an AI agent “just fix it” by changing auth settings—exactly the kind of **AI-to-action blast radius** that needs governance, approvals, and auditability.

This topic proposes a governed pattern in Autom Mate tn safely, without turning your identity posture into a chatbot roulette wheel.

## Proposed end-to-end workflow (Autom Mate)

### 1) Trigger

Choose one:

- **Scheduled trigger** : run dailand upcoming migration windows.
- **API/Webhook trigger** : allow your internal portal/agent to submit a “passkey issue” or “profile change request” event. Autom Mate supports API-base-style invocation.

### 2) Validation (guardrails before any action)

Use Autom Mate’s **data validation + conditional logic** to enforce deterministic rules before anything touches identity settings.

Example validations:

- Requester is in an allowed group (e.g., Identity Ops).
- Change type is one of an approved set (e.g., “create profile”, “update allowed AAGUID list”, “target group change”).
- “Break-glass” accounts are excluded from any automated targeting.
- If the request came from an AI agent/chat channel, require stricter checks (confidence threshold, mandatory human approval, etc.).

### 3) Approvals (human-in-the-loop)

Route to an approval stad + Security) before execution.

Pattern:

- Create a ticket/change record in your ITSM (example: **Xurrent Create Request** via Autom Mate library) and wait for approval state.
- If you use another system, call it via **REST/HTTP action** (only if you don’t have a native library).

### 4) Deterministic execution (no “vibe codingved, execute a fixed, versioned run:

- Use Autom Mate’s **version-aware execution tracking** so you can prove exactly which workflow version made the change.
- Apply changes through:
  - **Autom Mate library** where available, or
  - **REST/HTTP action** to Microsoft Graph endpoints (when a native library isn’t available).

Key governance idea: the AI can _recommend_ a change, but the workflow et of allowed mutations\*\*.

### 5) Logging + audit trail

- Use Autom Mate’s monitoring/logging to capture execution details and outcot originated from an AI agent channel, ensure the agent conversation + action trail is retained/exportable for audit.

#ng + rollback  
Autom Mate supports **error handling, retries, fallback actions, and alerting**.

Rollback strategy examples:

- If a profile update fails mid-flight, revert to the last known-good configuration (stored as a JSON snapshot in your system of record) and notify Security.
- If a user-impacting change is detected (spike in auth failures), automatically open a P1 incident and pause further executions.

## Two mini examples

### Mini example A — “Readiness radar” (scheduled)

- Trigger: scheduled daily.
- Action: pull current passkey/FIDO2 configuration + targeted groups (REST/HTTP to Graph).
- Validation: compare against a policy file (what “gootput: create/update an ITSM task list in Xurrent (library) for gaps found.

### Mini example B — Helpdesk containment (event-based)

- Trigger: API/Webhook from your portal when a user reports passkey trouble.
- Validation: confirm user is in scope + device/browser signals indicate passkey incompatibility.
- Approval: if the “fix” requires policy change, route to Identity approval; otherwise proceed.
- Execution: deterministic steps (e.g., assign user to a temporary “migration-support”
- Logging: attach run logs to the ticket for audit.

## Why this belongs in Platform (Category 13)

This is primarily an **implementation pattern** : orchestrating triggers, validations, approvals, deterministic execution, and audit/rollback across identity + ITSM—rather than a copy/paste single workflow template.

## Discussion questions

- How are you preventing an AI agent (or eager helpdesk automation) from “fixing” passkey issues by silently weakening authentication policies?
- If you get auto-migrated in April–May 2026, what’s your minimum acceptable audit evidence to prove who approved what, and which workflow version executed it?
