What is the difference between myaccess.microsoft.com, Active Directory, app.powerbi.com access?

Hello

 

I recentrly came across myaccess.microsoft.com as an access management platform.

 

App.powerbi.com already has access management features.

 

There is also Active Directory which offers access management.

 

What are the differences of all these? Are all these needed? Are there any more?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous,

AFAIK, the current power bi service works with ADD account. You can't use an AD account to sign in to the power bi service. If you are working with an AD account, normally you need to migrate the AD account with Azure AD for these features/product usages.

Compare Active Directory to Azure Active Directory | Microsoft Docs
