Managing application access to directories with a hosted directory service

摘要

Disclosed is a feature for easily managing network directories of multiple organizations by a centralized directory management system. Various applications can access the organization's directory via the directory management system in accordance with the permissions granted by each organization to these applications. An organization may maintain a directory on-premises or off-premises, and applications can access the directory through the directory management system regardless of the physical location of the directory. Further, the application may also be hosted by a computing service provider that also hosts or otherwise manages the directory management service, or the application may be hosted by a third party server that is separate from the directory management system and organization.
