Identity and access management are indispensable components of cloud security, as they enable access to cloud resources. Credentials are stored and managed through a single directory structure which supports multiple identity types like Users, Devices, and Services. In addition to identity storage, we should also be able to control access through Roles and Policies.
Azure Active Directory (not to be confused with Windows Active Directory) is a cloud-based identity service from Microsoft, which manages all identities under one single directory.
