Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

To understand your question, you want to use Azure AD to manage local accounts on the VM. In that case, Azure AD can't manage your VM local accounts, and you have to log into the server to manage the users/groups. But, if want Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to manage SSH logins for Ubuntu virtual machines (VMs) on Azure then the answer is yes. More information can be found at - https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/using-azure-ad-to-manage-ssh-logins-to-ubuntu#1-overview

Hope I answered your question.
