description: Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID provide identity and access management for organizations of
  all sizes. Microsoft Graph API is the unified REST API gateway for accessing and managing Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure
  Active Directory), including users, groups, applications, devices, conditional access policies, identity governance, and
  directory administration. Legacy on-premises Active Directory is managed through LDAP, Kerberos, and PowerShell protocols;
  cloud identity is managed through Microsoft Graph.
