Microsoft Azure Active Directory
In computing, Microsoft Azure Active Directory, commonly known as Azure AD, is a system in Microsoft Azure that enables the identity management to configure accessibility of users and groups to services and resources.[1] It shares the same name with a similar directory service found in Windows Server, but Azure Active Directory is not a replacement of the on-premises local directory service.[2] Azure AD is based on Active Directory, but incorporates different features such as providing identity as a service (IDaaS).[3]
