Azure AD P1 and China

Question

Azure AD P1 and China

Nate C 1

Hello, we are considering our options for adding Azure AD Premium P1 licenses to our Office E3 users. We have users in the US, Europe and China. But I see per this article that Azure AD P1 is "not supported in China". What does that mean? Can we not use Conditional Access and all the other features a P1 license brings?

Thank you

Hi @Nate C ,

Azure AD Premium and Basic editions are available for customers in China using the worldwide instance of Azure AD. Azure AD Premium and Basic editions aren't currently supported in the Azure service operated by 21Vianet in China. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/keep-me-signed-in

Based on this it would be supported with the worldwide instance but not for 21Vianet. I also reached out to the product team to see if there are any exceptions for admin accounts using Azure services operated by 21Vianet, and will reply with their response.

Let me know if this helps at all.

Thanks,

Marilee

PG Confirmed: If you have users in China that are using "Worldwide" tenants, you can get P1 and therefore CA Policies. 21ViaNet, which is the cloud for China, is not supported and therefore P1 features will not be available in the cloud environment. If your tenant is in 21ViaNet, then you will be subject to the rules of that tenant and cloud.

I appreciate the answers! In my case, the users in China and elsewhere are all included on the same tenant whose data resides in the US. Does that mean they are on a "worldwide tenant"?

Thank you
