On a daily basis, Azure AD analyzes the configuration of your tenant. During this analysis, Azure AD compares the data of a recommendation with the actual configuration of your tenant. If a recommendation is flagged as applicable to your tenant, the recommendation appears in the **Recommendations** section of the Azure AD Overview area. Recommendations are listed in order of priority so you can quickly determine where to focus first.

Recommendations contain a description, a summary of the value of addressing the recommendation, and a step-by-step action plan. If applicable, impacted resources associated with the recommendation are listed, so you can resolve each affected area. If a recommendation doesn't have any associated resources, the impacted resource type is *Tenant level*. so your step-by-step action plan impacts the entire tenant and not just a specific resource.
