Why Azure Active Directory?
Suppose you have a large organization with a lot of developers. Some Azure services must be available to all developers for them to perform their responsibilities. When the administrator gives them a unique username and password for each service, they can access services like databases, virtual machines, or Azure storage services. It might be challenging for administrators and employees to manage many user logins at once.
Azure Active Directory (AD) enters the scene in this situation. Administrators can easily manage numerous user logins with Azure AD. To access each service, administrators must provide a single login and password in Microsoft Azure. You can also manage the permissions on Azure storage disks which contain important data of organizations.
Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a service for managing identities and access in the cloud. This solution facilitates access to thousands of additional SaaS applications, the Azure portal, and external resources like Microsoft 365 for your staff members. They can also access internal resources like apps on your business intranet network and any cloud apps created by your own company, thanks to Azure Active Directory. You can also maintain your on-premises Active Directory implementation with the assistance of Azure AD. Simply explained, Azure AD enables users to sign up for various services and access them from any location via the cloud using a single username and password.
