The Preview portal, which you can refer to at https://portal.azure.com, is accessible with a valid credential, such as a Microsoft account or a company account (hosted on Azure AD). Discussing the new features of this portal is out of the scope of this book but, from an IT and security perspective, great features have been added to it.

A completely renewed role-based authorization engine is implemented to set up fine grained security for each component of the platform, as we can see in the next section.
