Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 - Identity Management

One of the new feature added to the newly released GP 2015 is Identity Management where customers and partners waited to get this feature included.

So what is Identity Management ?

The identity management enhancement enables you to log into your Microsoft Dynamics GP Web Client user account with your organizational account (Azure Active Directory (AD) account). This alleviates the need to log in separately to access your network, SQL Server database and Microsoft Dynamics GP, relying instead on a single secure log in to deliver access to your GP workspace.
