- Microsoft Entra
The umbrella brand covering Microsoft's identity and network access portfolio. Internet Access, Private Access, External ID and ID Governance all belong to it, built on top of the core directory service, Entra ID.
- Tenant
A trusted, dedicated Microsoft Entra ID instance that stores the users, groups and app registrations of one organisation. A subscription trusts only a single tenant, although a tenant can be trusted by several subscriptions.
- IDENTITY
A column property, written IDENTITY(seed, increment), that gives each new row the next number in a rising sequence. SCOPE_IDENTITY reports the latest value created in the current scope, and a rolled-back transaction still uses up the numbers it took.
