What is Microsoft Azure AD? - c06412596

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft’s multi-tenant, cloud-based directory, and identity management service that combines core directory services, application access management, and identity protection into a single solution. Azure AD also offers a rich, standards-based platform that enables developers to deliver access control to their applications, based on centralized policy and rules.

• For IT admins.
  Azure AD provides a more secure solution for your organization through the use of stronger identity management and single sign-on (SSO) access to thousands of cloud-based SaaS apps and on-premises apps. Through these apps, you'll also get cloud-based app security, seamless access, enhanced collaboration, and automation of the identity lifecycle for your employees, helping to increase both security and compliance.
• You can integrate Azure AD with an existing Windows Server Active Directory, letting your organization use your existing on-premises identity investments to manage cloud-based SaaS app access.
• For app developers.
  Azure AD lets you focus on building your apps by letting you integrate with an identity management solution that's used by millions of organizations around the world.
• For Office 365, Azure, or Dynamics CRM Online customers.

You're already using Azure AD. Each Office 365, Azure, and Dynamics CRM Online tenant is actually an Azure AD tenant, letting you immediately start to manage your employee-access to your integrated cloud apps.
