Azure Active Directory resembles on-premise active directory, but with the focus on linking single sign-on with SaaS applications.


Azure Active Directory Premium P1 is the step up from Azure Active Directory Basic. When you have on-premise users and struggling to manage their access SaaS applications this license allows cloud write-back, which makes a streamlined user experience. This means that users will know if they need to login to any thing related or the organization it is their same credentials. Azure Active Directory Premium P1 opens the capabilities of conditional access through dynamic groups.
