Azure AD empowers organizations to manage and secure identities for employees, partners, and customers to access the applications and services they need. Azure AD provides an identity solution that integrates broadly, from on-premises legacy apps to thousands of top software as a service (SaaS) applications, delivering a seamless end-user experience and improved visibility and control.

Human identities include employees, partners, and customers. Non-human identities include identities for devices, apps, and services, referred to as “workload identities” in the industry. In Microsoft Entra, workload identities include applications and service principals.
