IT admins:
Based on your company's needs, utilize Azure AD to limit access to your apps and app resources as an
IT administrator. For instance, you may utilize Azure AD to make it mandatory for users to provide
two-factor authentication before accessing crucial corporate resources. Additionally, you may
automate user provisioning across your current Windows Server AD and your cloud apps, such as
Microsoft 365, using Azure AD. Finally, Azure AD provides you with strong features to automatically
assist in protecting user identities and credentials as well as to satisfy your access governance
requirements. Sign up for a free 30-day Azure Active Directory Premium trial to get going.
App developers:
As an app developer, you can add single sign-on (SSO) to your app using Azure AD as a standards-
based method, enabling it to function using a user's pre-existing credentials. Azure AD offers APIs that
may be used to create personalized app experiences using organizational data that already exists. Sign
up for a free 30-day Azure Active Directory Premium trial to get going. You may also view Azure Active
Directory for developers for additional details.
By upgrading to Azure Active Directory Premium P1 or Premium P2 licenses, you can additionally add
paid features to improve your Azure AD deployment. The commercial licenses for Azure AD are
constructed on top of your currently free directory. For your mobile users, the licenses offer self-
service, improved monitoring, security reporting, and safe access.
Application management
Utilize Application Proxy, single sign-on, the My Apps interface, and Software as a Service (SaaS)
programmed to manage your cloud and on-premises apps. See the documentation for Application
Management and How to enable secure remote access to on-premises applications for further details.
Authentication
Manage self-service password reset for Azure Active Directory, MFA, a custom list of forbidden
passwords, and smart lockout. Consult the Azure AD Authentication documentation for further
details.
Business-to-Business (B2B)
Manage your external partners and guest users while keeping your own corporate data under your
control. Consult the Azure Active Directory B2B documentation for further details.
Business-to-Customer (B2C)

the Azure Active Directory B2C documentation for further details.
Conditional Access
Access control for your cloud-based apps. Consult the documentation for Azure AD Conditional Access

the documentation for Azure AD Domain Services for further details.
Enterprise users
Using groups and administrator roles, you may set up delegates, control app access, and assign
licenses. Consult the Azure Active Directory user administration documentation for further details.
Hybrid identity
To give a single user identity for authentication and authorization to all resources, independent of
location, use Azure Active Directory Connect and Connect Health (cloud or on-premises). See Hybrid
identity documents for further details.
Identity governance
Manage your organization's identity through employee, business partner, vendor, service, and app
access controls. You can also perform access reviews. For more information, see Azure AD identity
governance documentation and Azure AD access reviews.
Identity protection
Establish protocols to react to suspicious actions, identify any vulnerabilities affecting the identity of
your organization, and then resolve them. See Azure AD Identity Protection for further details.
Conclusion
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud service for managing identities and access. This solution
facilitates access to thousands of additional SaaS applications, the Azure portal, and external
resources like Microsoft 365 for your staff members
