Using main Azure Active Directory login for separate Azure AD B2C login via API Management Portal

My company has a main Azure Active Directory of our in-company users as well as a directory for Azure AD B2C for outside users. My API Management service as of right now only accepts logins via Azure AD B2C. I was wondering if it would be possible for users on my company's main Azure Active Directory to log into my API Management service using our in-company login. Would I need to add Azure AD as a login method to my developer portal?

    Hello hampton123,

    Thanks for your question.

    Yes, it will be possible, you would need to add Entra ID as a login method to your developer portal.

    To do this, please review the documentation here:
