Build 2022: New frontier of collaboration with External Identities - Microsoft Tech Community
Hello friends,
It’s a new year and a fresh start for Build 2022 at Microsoft. After a couple years of feeling disconnected from each other, it is so great to be collaborating in a hybrid environment. With this new frontier of collaboration, the team is more committed than ever to bringing features that allow everyone to more easily onboard and manage External Identities, with Zero Trust strategy as the foundation. Today we are announcing three advances we've made to help break down barriers and enable more flexibility for orgs and developers:
- Public Preview of Microsoft cloud settings for B2B Collaboration
- General Availability of SAML and WS-Fed federation for External Identities
- Custom extensions for token enrichment coming in Summer 2022
Please welcome Senior Product Manager, Josh Douglas, to the blog to talk more about this new frontier of collaboration.
Thanks, Robin! Our Build 2022 announcements are all about improving collaboration and expanding on the flexibility of our External Identities capabilities. Specifically:
- Collaboration across Microsoft clouds with External Identities and Identity Governance
- Enabling users from different companies not in Azure AD to connect with any identity they have.
- Introducing new ways to extend identity processes on Azure Active Directory by integrating with external systems to enrich the information your applications receive in tokens.
