    Definition = @('{"activityBasedTimeoutPolicies":{"AlternateLoginIDLookup":true, "IncludedUserIds":["UserID"]}}')
}
Set-EntraPolicy @params

This command updates definition of the specified policy in Microsoft Entra ID.

  • -Id specifies the ID of the policy for which you want to set values.

  • Definition specifies the array of stringified JSON that contains all the rules of the policy. In this example, @('{"activityBasedTimeoutPolicies":{"AlternateLoginIDLookup":true, "IncludedUserIds":["UserID"]}}') represents definition of the activityBasedTimeoutPolicy.

Example 3: Update a policy organization default

}
Set-EntraPolicy @params

$params = @{
    Id = 'aaaaaaaa-0000-1111-2222-bbbbbbbbbbbb'
