What is AAD Connect?

It enables hybrid identity scenarios, allowing users to use the same credentials for both on-premises and cloud resources. Common uses include single sign-on (SSO) to cloud applications, user and group provisioning to Azure AD, and enabling Azure AD features like self-service password reset for on-premises users.
