For purposes of compliance, auditing, and automation, the Microsoft Graph API should be regarded as the authoritative source of sign-in and conditional access data. While the Azure portal provides a convenient interface for quick inspection and monitoring, it applies certain filters and visual simplifications. In contrast, the API delivers the complete dataset without user interface–level adjustments, ensuring full fidelity for reporting and analysis.
