Azure AD icon
The official Azure icon for Active Directory, as a clean SVG you can drop straight into a diagram. In an architecture, AD governs who can reach the rest of the architecture, and belongs on the diagram for exactly that reason.
Rather than hunting icons one by one: describe the architecture below and Datadef places them for you, Active Directory included, on a canvas you can edit.
Drawing a whole system? See the authentication authorization architecture generator or the Azure architecture generator.
This page is the AD icon on its own. For the full set, the ZIP and the searchable grid, see all Azure icons.

AD icon: common questions
Is the AD icon free to download?
Yes. The SVG downloads straight from this page, with no account, no email and no watermark. The mark itself belongs to Microsoft, so follow their brand guidelines when you publish a diagram that uses it. Their terms are at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/icons/
What file format is the AD icon?
SVG. It is a vector, so it stays sharp at 24 pixels in a table and at 400 pixels on a slide, and it can be resized without soft edges. It opens in Figma, PowerPoint, draw.io and any browser, and it drops straight onto a Datadef canvas.
Where does AD go in a Azure architecture diagram?
AD governs who can reach the rest of the architecture, and belongs on the diagram for exactly that reason. Datadef can place it for you: describe the architecture in one sentence and the Azure icons land on an editable canvas, Active Directory included.
