What are Azure AD Users?

Azure AD users are identities that are created in Azure AD and can be used to access various resources and services in the Azure cloud. Users can be added and managed through the Azure portal, Azure AD PowerShell module, or Azure AD Graph API.

Azure AD users can be created in various ways, such as manual creation, synchronization from on-premises Active Directory, or automatic provisioning through Azure AD Connect. Once created, users can be assigned roles, groups, and licenses to grant them access to specific resources and services in Azure.

Users can authenticate to Azure AD and access resources through various authentication methods, including password-based authentication, multi-factor authentication, and federated authentication with third-party identity providers. Azure AD also supports features like self-service password reset and conditional access policies to enhance security and usability for Azure AD users.
