Managing application access to directories with a hosted directory service

摘要

Features are disclosed for facilitating management of network directories of multiple organizations by a centralized directory management system. Various applications can access the directories of the organizations via the directory management system according to the permissions that the applications have been granted by the respective organizations. Organizations may maintain directories on-premises or off-premises, and the applications can access the directories via the directory management system regardless of the physical location of the directories. Additionally, the applications may be hosted by a computing service provider that also hosts or otherwise manages the directory management service, or the applications can be hosted by third-party servers separate from the directory management system and the organizations.
