About Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory is a cloud-based directory and identity management service. The service manages user and group accounts and provides insights about those accounts, such as their location. It also helps with security features like multifactor authentication. This service is built on the Microsoft Identity platform and is as federated as they come. A federated Azure AD can be integrated into other federated systems with SSO capabilities that customers may have in place already.
