What is Azure IAM?

Azure IAM (Identity and Access Management), primarily through Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), enables you to manage identities and control access to Azure resources and other cloud applications. It's used to authenticate users and applications, authorize access to resources based on roles and permissions, and manage user identities and their credentials. This includes features like multi-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and conditional access policies to enhance security and streamline access management.
