Microsoft Entra ID
Cloud-based identity management service From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Microsoft Azure Active Directory or Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution. It is a directory and identity management service that operates in the cloud and offers authentication and authorization services to various Microsoft services, such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Azure and third-party services.[1] Entra ID provides users with single sign-on experience, called "work or school accounts",[2] regardless of whether their applications are cloud-based or on-premises.
