Following on from this question, I don't understand what the difference between an Azure Tenant, Azure Directory and Azure Active Directory.
When I log in to Azure and click my profile it lets me Switch Directory
.
In my case I can switch to my company directory and also to the directory of another company where I have guest credits.
Does Directory
in this context mean the same as Azure Active Directory
?
The documentation says a tenant is:
Azure tenant: A dedicated and trusted instance of Azure AD that's automatically created when your organization signs up for a Microsoft cloud service subscription, such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Intune, or Office 365. An Azure tenant represents a single organization.
So is Tenant
the same as Directory
in this case as well?
