+# Identities
+
+The **Identities** page in multitenant management enables you to quickly manage tenants and identities.
+
+## Identity inventory
+
+The Identity inventory page lists all the identities in each tenant that you have access to. The page is like the [Defender for Identity inventory](/defender-for-identity/identity-inventory) with the addition of the **Tenant name** column and filter. 
+
+You can navigate to the identity inventory page by selecting **Assets > Identities** in Microsoft Defender XDR's navigation menu.
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/multitenant-identities-inventory/screenshot-of-inventory.png" alt-text="Screenshot of inventory." lightbox="media/multitenant-identities-inventory/screenshot-of-inventory.png":::
+   
+At the top of the page, the following identities counts are available for all tenants:
+
+**Total**: The total number of identities.
+
+**Critical:** The number of your critical assets.
+
+**Disabled:** The number of all disabled identities in your organization.
+
+**Services:** The number of all service accounts both on-premises and cloud.
+
+You can use this information to help you prioritize identities for security posture improvements.
+
+Highly privileged identities card helps you investigate in Advanced hunting all sensitive accounts in your organization, including Microsoft Entra ID security administrators and Global admin users.
+
+There are several options you can choose from to customize the identities list view. On the top navigation you can:
+
+- Add or remove columns.
+
+- Apply filters.
+
+- Search for an identity by name or full UPN, SID, and Object ID.
+
+- Export the list to a CSV file.
+
+- Copy list link with the included filters configured.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When exporting the identities list to a CSV file, a maximum of 5,000 identities are displayed.
+
+To view full identity details, select a specific identity from the list. Tenant ID and Tenant name are available in the identity side panel and page:
