Identity

Here is an overview of what will be covered in this section :

We will start with Entra ID, which serves as a central hub for identity management. It acts as an intermediary between different types of identities and services.

On-premises identities focus on security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and conditional access policies. We will not explore this topic in detail, as it is covered in the AZ-500 course.

Next, B2B stands for Business-to-Business, which allows us to integrate external identities into our Entra ID. This involves enabling guest users from partner companies to access our resources, which helps us avoid creating new users in our directory.

Finally, Entra ID encompasses users and groups that belong to the organisation in the cloud.
