# Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)

Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. It is a central hub for managing user identities, enabling secure access to various cloud-based applications and services. Azure AD provides a range of capabilities for organizations to enhance security, simplify user management, and enable seamless single sign-on experiences across different applications, including:

External resources, like Microsoft 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications.
Internal resources, such as apps on your corporate network and intranet, and any cloud apps developed by your organization.

Workato's Azure AD connector enables you to integrate and automate various actions and operations within your Azure Active Directory environment. It provides a set of pre-built triggers and actions that allow you to interact with user accounts, groups, roles, applications, and other resources in the Azure Active Directory.
