    If you are in Business Central online you need an Azure AD account and that is basically the same as a office 365 account.

    In BC on prem you will be able to use a windows / local AD account. But you can even use Azure AD in BC on prem.

    Hi, just adding some info.

    If you are talking about On-Pre.

    You can use following Credential Type.

    For SaaS, in addition to the office 365 account, you can also use an external account to log in.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
