identityProviderBase resource type

  • Article

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Represents identity providers with External Identities for both Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure AD B2C tenants.

For Azure AD B2B scenarios in an Azure AD directory, the identity provider can be a socialIdentityProvider or a builtinIdentityProvider, both of which inherit from the identityProviderBase resource type.

Configuring an identity provider in your Azure AD directory enables new Azure AD B2B guest scenarios. For example, an organization has resources in Microsoft 365 that need to be shared with a Gmail user. The Gmail user will use their Google account credentials to authenticate and access the documents.

In an Azure AD B2C directory, the identity provider type can be a socialIdentityProvider or an appleManagedIdentityProvider, all which inherit from the identityProviderBase resource type.

Configuring an identity provider in your Azure AD B2C directory enables users to sign up and sign in using a social account or a custom OpenID Connect supported provider in an application. For example, an application can use Azure AD B2C to allow users to sign up for the service using a Facebook account or their own custom identity provider that complies with OIDC protocol.
