Can Azure AD be used as an IDP for single sign-on between two applications (for approx 2,250 users)? If so, which plan would be sufficient?

    Hi @Glen Stanley

    Yes, Azure AD is an IdP that is capable of providing SSO for external applications. I'd recommend to grab one Azure Active Directory Premium P2 license to take advantage of all the AAD features it has. Basic licensing (free) will be sufficient for your users unless you want to have more control over your environment (see below).

    If you want to have more granular control over your AAD users for MFA, Conditional Access, etc you will need to look into Enterprise Mobility & Security (EMS) licensing for each of your users:
