Azure active directory is a cloud-based identity as a service that manages users, groups, devices, and applications, with licensing from free to premium and B2C, dynamic groups, and conditional access.
Explore Azure AD key capabilities, including user management, device management with Intune, conditional access with MFA, and B2B/B2C collaboration, plus on-premises connectivity and monitoring user activity and apps.
Learn how to create and manage Azure AD users and groups across cloud and on-premises identities, including B2B guest access and multi-factor authentication, with Azure portal, PowerShell, and CLI.
Create and manage Azure AD users and guests, assign roles and groups, and configure security settings, password options, MFA, and audit logs to control access and monitor activity.
Register apps and provide secure, seamless access to cloud and on-premise apps with Azure AD, enabling single sign-on, governance, conditional access, and risk reduction.
Learn how Azure identity types, including system-assigned and user-assigned managed identities, enable secure authentication for apps and virtual machines without embedded credentials, and their lifecycle differences.
Explore Azure conditional access, showing how conditions and access controls enforce organization policy under zero trust using signals like location, devices, and MFA prompts.
Learn to configure a MFA-based conditional access policy in Azure, create a user, apply access controls, and test what-if scenarios to secure portal login.
Explore Azure RBAC role definitions, built-in and custom, with owner, contributor, and reader permissions. Understand management versus data operations and how they control access to storage accounts and blob data.
