-Here are some ways that custom security attributes compare with [directory extensions](../develop/active-directory-schema-extensions.md):
+While both extensions and custom security attributes can be used to extend objects in Azure AD and Microsoft 365, they are suitable for fundamentally different custom data scenarios. Here are some ways that custom security attributes compare with [extensions](/graph/extensibility-overview):
 
-- Directory extensions cannot be used for authorization scenarios and attributes because the access control for the extension attributes is tied to the Azure AD object. Custom security attributes can be used for authorization and attributes needing access control because the custom security attributes can be managed and protected through separate permissions.
-- Directory extensions are tied to an application and share the lifecycle of an application. Custom security attributes are tenant wide and not tied to an application.
-- Directory extensions support assigning a single value to an attribute. Custom security attributes support assigning multiple values to an attribute.
+| Capability | Extensions | Custom security attributes |

+| Extend Azure AD and Microsoft 365 objects | Yes | Yes |
+| Supported objects | Depends on the extension type | Users and service principals |
+| Restricted access | No. Anyone with permissions to read the object can read the extension data. | Yes. Read and write access is restricted through a separate set of permissions and RBAC. |

+| License requirements | Available with the basic license | Basic capabilities are available with an Azure AD Premium P1 license |
