Identity Management . . . . a fancy term for keeping tabs on credentials with access to our systems. All cyber security attacks share a common factor: the attacker gained access to a system. Commonly, this occurs using compromised user accounts.
In one of my other articles “Accessing Exchange Online Objects” I outlined how you can interact with these objects. When you need to scope apps with application permissions to a subset of mailboxes, we can use ApplicationAccessPolicies as outlined here by Microsoft.
In Active Directory on-premises or Azure Active Directory (AAD), used by Office 365, our User Principal Name (UPN) is often the same as our email address.

Welcome to the fourth part of this article series about Azure AD Connect.

In Exchange 2010 users can create distribution lists that are visible to the whole organization through Outlook Web App in the user Options. By default these are created in the Users OU in Active Directory.
After preparing federation between Office 365 and the on-premise Active Directory and configuring the Office 365 tenant in the previous post, this article describes the installation of the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Setup (DirSync).
DirSync is required to synchronize your on-premise accounts and security groups to Office 365.
After preparing the AD FS requirements and installing the AD FS Server Role in part 1, this article describes the steps to configure the Active Directory Federation Services for further use and the eventual integration with Office 365.
