What is Azure IAM?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:15 pm

Azure IAM is a cloud-based identity and access management service that gives you control over who can access your applications, data, and resources. It helps you secure access to your applications by providing a single sign-on experience, enforcing access policies, and managing authentication and authorization credentials.

Azure IAM lets you manage access to your applications using a variety of mechanisms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux authentication; OpenID Connect authentication; and SAML authentication. You can also use Azure IAM to authorize users for access to your cloud-based resources, such as files in blob storage, services in the cloud, and virtual machines in the cloud.

PRO TIP: The Azure IAM is a cloud-based identity and access management system. It provides a centralized way to manage users, groups, and permissions. It is important to note that the Azure IAM is not a replacement for on-premises Active Directory.

Azure IAM also provides a centralized management platform for identity and access policies, identity providers, and identity access applications. Using the Azure Management Portal, you can create and manage identity policies, add identity providers to your identity policy, manage authentication and authorization credentials, and monitor the status of your identity and access applications.

In conclusion, Azure IAM provides a comprehensive identity and access management service that lets you secure access to your applications and cloud-based resources. It provides a single sign-on experience, enforcement of access policies, and management of authentication and authorization credentials.
