Microsoft Azure Active Directory

Microsoft's Azure Active Directory (shortened Microsoft Azure AD) is a cloud-based solution for managing identity and access. It is a directory and identity management service that operates in the cloud and offers authentication and authorization services to various Microsoft services like Office 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, and cloud-based applications. Azure AD provides users with a seamless single sign-on experience, regardless of whether their applications are cloud-based or on-premises.
