AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Types of Azure AD Users

The video tutorial explains three types of user accounts in Azure: cloud identities, directory sync identities, and guest accounts. Cloud identities are created directly in Azure, while directory sync identities are synchronized from on-premise to Azure Active Directory.
