help Microsoft Entra ID FAQ
Is Microsoft Entra ID the same product as Azure Active Directory?
Yes, Microsoft renamed Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID in 2023. The service still manages identities, application access, authentication, and directory roles across Microsoft and third-party services.

P2 adds risk-based identity protection and Privileged Identity Management capabilities beyond the core P1 feature set. It is included with Microsoft 365 E5 and can also be licensed separately.
