Microsoft Entra ID

As explained in Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse

Azure Active Directory is Microsoft's cloud identity and access management service for authenticating identities and enforcing authorization policies.

Microsoft Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, provides cloud identity and access management for authenticating users and enforcing authorization across Azure resources, applications, and hybrid environments. section 5.4.5

Use it to:

  • Manage users and groups, secure sign-ins, provide single sign-on, and apply role-based access control. section 5.4.5
  • Control access to ADLS Gen2 through identity-based policies combined with fine-grained POSIX-style ACLs. section 5.4.5
  • Federate identities across domains and integrate with SaaS applications and cloud or on-premises resources. section 5.4.5

Healthcare lakehouse access

A healthcare analytics firm can combine ADLS with Entra ID and file-level ACLs to restrict patient and clinical-trial data access under HIPAA-oriented controls. section 5.5.2

How Architecting an Apache Iceberg Lakehouse covers it

Examples
Uses healthcare patient data and clinical-trial records to illustrate tightly controlled, auditable storage access.
What you can do after
Operate/configure identity-based access policies and fine-grained permissions for Azure data resources.
How it connects
