Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) was renamed by Microsoft in July 2023 as Microsoft Entra ID. This book references the Microsoft Entra portal frequently, but still refers to Azure AD in many places. Please note that only the name has changed; so, wherever you see Azure AD mentioned, this is in fact referring to Microsoft Entra ID.
