-If you create accounts for your external partners in your on-premises directory (for example, you create an account with a sign-in name of "msullivan" for an external user named Maria Sullivan in your partners.contoso.com domain), you can now sync these accounts to the cloud. Specifically, you can use [Microsoft Entra Connect](../hybrid/connect/whatis-azure-ad-connect.md) to sync the partner accounts to the cloud, which creates a user account with UserType = Guest. This enables your partner users to access cloud resources using the same credentials as their local accounts, without giving them more access than they need. For more information about converting local guest accounts to Microsoft Entra B2B guest accounts see [this article](/azure/active-directory/architecture/10-secure-local-guest).
