Microsoft Azure Active Directory Premium P2 for Faculty Annual Subscription License

Azure Active Directory is an identity and access management-as-a-service (IDaaS) solution that combines single-on capabilities to any cloud and on-premises application with advanced protection. It gives your people, partners, and customers a single identity to access the applications they want and collaborate from any platform and device. And because it’s based on scalable management capabilities and risk-based access rules, Azure AD helps ensure security and streamline IT processes.

Azure AD Premium P1 is an enterprise level edition which provides identity management for on-premise users, remote users and hybrid users accessing applications both locally and over the cloud. This edition includes support for self-service identity, access management, administration of dynamic groups including self-service group management, as well as Microsoft Identity Manager which is a suite of on-premise identity and access management tools.

Azure AD Premium P2 tier differs from Azure AD P1 tier with added Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management (PIM) which increase security measures to meet the toughest of expectations. Azure AD Identity Protection adds improved reporting of risk events so organizations can further assess potential vulnerabilities for all identities with the function of blocking or remediating these security risks with adaptive actions. PIM provides additional information about administrative accounts which allows for higher protection and lower risk of security breaches with this level of accounts. The Privileged Identity Management package clearly identifies Azure AD Administrators, adds a just-in-time administrative access for Office 365, provides reports about administrative access history and changes to admin assignments and sends alerts about access to privileged accounts.
