Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It provides a range of features and capabilities to help organisations manage user identities and access to resources in the cloud.

Here are some of the things that Azure AD can do:

Single Sign-On (SSO): Azure AD enables users to sign in once with their organisational account and access multiple applications and services without having to sign in again.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Azure AD provides an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide additional authentication factors, such as a phone number or security token, to access their accounts.
Identity and access management: Azure AD provides a centralised location for managing user identities, groups, and access to resources in the cloud.
Application management: Azure AD supports a range of application types, including Microsoft 365 apps, third-party SaaS apps, and custom applications.
Conditional Access: Azure AD enables organisations to define policies that control access to applications and resources based on specific conditions, such as user location, device compliance, or application sensitivity.
Reporting and monitoring: Azure AD provides detailed reports and monitoring capabilities to help organisations track user activity and identify security risks.

Overall, Azure Active Directory is a comprehensive identity and access management solution that can help organisations to secure their cloud-based resources and manage user access to those resources.
