For those working on Office 365, this is likely pretty important. 

Microsoft Identity Manager 2016 is the successor to Forefront Identity Manager 2012 R2.  It provides a variety of functions related to identity & access management and is an on-premises implementation.

• Synchronize identities between directories, databases and applications
• Self-service password, group and certificate management
• Increase admin security with policies, privileged access and roles (RBAC)

It’s designed to work out of the box with Microsoft’s cloud including:

1. Azure Active Directory and enabling synchronization between on-premises AD
2. Password reset through Azure Multi-factor Authentication
3. Dynamics grouping based on roles including serial or parallel
