Microsoft Learning: Getting Started with Microsoft Identity

Learn the basics of Microsoft identity including the different types of tokens, account types, and supported topologies.

I work with Microsoft Learning to publish & maintain multiple self-paced learning modules related to Microsoft 365. These modules are primarily used as self-paced study resources for developers preparing to take the MS-600 exam, the only prerequisite to achieve the Microsoft 365 Certified: Teams Application Developer Associate certification. This is one of those modules.

Microsoft identity platform is an evolution of the Microsoft Entra ID developer platform. It allows developers to build applications that sign in users, and access resources in both external applications such as Microsoft Office 365, the Azure portal, and thousands of other SaaS applications as well as internal resources, such as apps on your corporate network and intranet, along with any cloud apps developed by your own organization.

In this module, you will learn the basics of Microsoft identity including the different types of tokens, account types, and supported topologies.

  1. Explain the different types of tokens used in Microsoft Identity solutions
