Entra ID PIM Activation ... but better - With JAz.PIM
summary
A PowerShell module called JAz.PIM actually automates Entra ID PIM activations, letting one activate many built‑in roles in parallel so five or more role activations finish in roughly the time of one, with parallel runspace progress reporting, pipelineable objects, tab completion, WhatIf/Confirm, and basic approval handling. It supports scheduled activations and managed identities for noninteractive workflows. Practical limits: Microsoft Graph/governance module changes can break it and MFA/conditional access is required, but the module demonstrably works and noticeably cuts activation time and manual clicks.
