    That’s correct—if you are using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) accounts without on-premises domains and only Cloud Identity, enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) via Intune directly might not be possible in the traditional sense. However, there are still some alternative approaches to achieving an SSO-like experience for your users. Here’s a breakdown of your options:


    1. Using Microsoft Entra ID for Cloud-Only Environments

    • Even without on-premises domains, Microsoft Entra ID supports SSO for cloud apps.
    • Ensure applications are integrated with Microsoft Entra ID as their identity provider (IdP) through SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect.
    • Use the My Apps portal (https://myapps.microsoft.com) to give users one-click access to all linked applications.

    2. Configure Passwordless Authentication

    • Enabling passwordless authentication, such as Microsoft Authenticator App, Windows Hello, or FIDO2 security keys, can streamline logins for cloud services and enhance the user experience.

    3. Device-Based Conditional Access

    • Enforce Conditional Access Policies to ensure only trusted, compliant devices (registered in Entra ID and managed through Intune) can access corporate resources.
    • While this doesn’t provide traditional SSO, it ensures seamless authentication for compliant devices.

    4. Windows Autopilot Hybrid Join (Optional for Certain Use Cases)

    • If there’s a future need to integrate with on-premises AD without maintaining a full AD infrastructure, you can implement Windows Autopilot Hybrid Join using Azure-based domain services.
    • This would allow devices to have an identity in both Entra ID and Azure AD DS.

    5. Leverage Cloud Apps with Entra ID Native Support

    • Many third-party applications offer direct integration with Microsoft Entra ID for SSO, even in cloud-only environments.
    • Check if your apps are listed in the Azure AD Application Gallery and configure them for SSO.
