Does Microsoft 365 Included with Azure Portal?

Yes, Microsoft 365 comes with Azure Portal (specifically the Microsoft Entra ID Free tier). However, it does not include paid Azure services like virtual machines, SQL databases, or storage; those require a separate, paid Azure subscription.

Microsoft Entra ID Free tier includes:
- Identity & Access Management: Basic user and group management.
- Single Sign-On (SSO): Unlimited SSO for accessing cloud apps, including Microsoft 365 and thousands of pre-integrated SaaS applications.
- Security Defaults: Pre-configured security settings that enforce Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all users and administrators, designed to protect against common attacks.
- Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR): Allows cloud-only users to reset their own passwords.
- Hybrid Identity: Synchronize on-premises Active Directory with Microsoft Entra ID using Entra Connect Sync.
- Device Management: Basic device registration.
- Reporting: Basic security and usage reports.

Limitations of the Free Tier:
- No advanced security features like Conditional Access (IP-based restrictions, risk-based policies).
- No advanced governance (like access reviews).
- No support for automatic user provisioning.
