In Azure, a tenant refers to a dedicated instance of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) that an organization receives when signing up for a Microsoft cloud service like Azure, Microsoft 365, or Dynamics 365.
Azure Tenant
- Identity Management: A tenant provides a centralized identity system for managing users, groups, and applications.
- Subscription Association: A tenant can own one or multiple Azure subscriptions, but each subscription belongs to only one tenant.
- Security & Access Control: Tenants enable role-based access control (RBAC) and authentication across Azure services.
- Domain Integration: Organizations can associate custom domains with their tenant for branding and authentication
- Dedicated: a Tenant is a dedicated instance of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) that an organization receives when signing up for a Microsoft cloud service.
- Boundary: It acts as a boundary for identity management, subscriptions, and resources.
- Multiple Subscriptions: A tenant can have multiple subscriptions, but each subscription belongs to only one tenant.
Azure Directory
- The directory is the identity service within the tenant that stores and manages users, groups, and applications.
- It enables authentication and access control across Azure services.
- The Tenant ID and Directory ID are often the same, as they refer to the same identity container.
Essentially, the tenant is the overarching entity, while the directory is the identity management system within it
