Can Azure AD (work) accounts be used with Azure B2C? Is that a bad idea? [closed]

I need to support work accounts (or school accounts) with AzureAD B2C.

I already have an existing base of Facebook clients and Google. However, when I configure the Microsoft endpoint, I only get the liveID option.

Is there a way to use a custom B2C signup policy to use AAD? What other solutions exist?

You can use Custom Policies to enable sign-in for users from a specific Azure AD. You can refer to this guide to achieve that.

However, I also want to make clear that these AAD accounts is not be authenticated for Office 365. When you use Azure AD accounts to sign-in AAD B2C applications, Azure AD is just as a identity provider in Azure AD B2C like others, such as Microsoft Account and Google+.

Hope this helps!
