Entra ID

  1. Entra ID is the identity provider for MSFT clouds
    1. “Azure”
    2. M365
    3. Dynamics 365
  2. Entra ID is not AD in the cloud.
    1. Has flat structure/ No OUs
    2. Has administrative units
  3. We can create additional tenants
  4. By default it will <>.onmicrosoft.com
    1. Can create/add custom domains
  5. When assigning license to groups only license applied to first level works not to members of nested groups

“Entra connect” to sync between on-prem AD and “Entra ID”
Active directory is always the source of truth.
Even if HR system is connected to Azure. Entra ID talks to on-prem to create object, which then replicates to Entra ID.
