SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Azure Lighthouse guidance facilitates cross-tenant governance, enabling secure, scalable multi-tenant delegations and streamlined management patterns across subscriptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision making: guidance on when and how to apply Lighthouse for enterprise or ISV scenarios.
  • Security & governance: tenant/user/role mapping, AOBO controls, PIM integration, and security hardening practices.
  • Configuration & deployment: onboarding via ARM and policy, updating/removing access, policy deployment, remediation with managed identities, and change monitoring.
  • Integrations & Coding Patterns: cross-tenant patterns for Arc integration, Sentinel workspaces, migration at scale, and monitoring across tenants.
  • Deployment considerations: packaging, publishing, and management of Lighthouse-related offerings and deployments.

Quick Start

Outline a design and deployment plan for Azure Lighthouse multi-tenant delegations including RBAC/AOBO, PIM, policy onboarding, and ongoing governance.

FAQPage Schema
How does Azure Lighthouse work for multi-tenant delegation?

Azure Lighthouse enables secure cross-tenant management by allowing delegated access through role-based access control. It projects customer subscriptions into the managing tenant, streamlining governance without switching directories.

How do I onboard subscriptions to Azure Lighthouse using policy?

You can onboard subscriptions to Azure Lighthouse using policy-based deployment by assigning ARM templates that enforce delegation at scale. This method ensures ongoing governance and automatically remediates non-compliant resources using managed identities.

Can I integrate Azure Lighthouse with Privileged Identity Management?

Yes, Azure Lighthouse integrates with Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to provide just-in-time access for delegated resources. This allows managing tenants to activate elevated roles temporarily, enhancing security hardening across multi-tenant environments.

Does Azure Arc work with cross-tenant Lighthouse management?

Azure Arc integrates with Lighthouse to manage hybrid and multi-cloud resources across tenants. Managing tenants can monitor and govern Arc-enabled servers from a centralized workspace using delegated security and governance patterns.

What is the difference between AOBO and RBAC in Azure Lighthouse?

RBAC in Lighthouse provides granular, role-based delegated access to specific user groups, while Admin on Behalf Of (AOBO) grants broad account-level access to the managing partner. RBAC is recommended for secure, least-privilege multi-tenant governance.

How do I package and publish a managed service offer for Lighthouse?

You package and publish Lighthouse managed service offers through Azure Marketplace. This deployment consideration allows ISVs to define authorization mappings and onboard multiple customers to cross-tenant delegations programmatically.
