In the Azure AD scope:

Authentication is the process of proving you are who you say you are. Authentication is sometimes shortened to AuthN. Microsoft identity platform implements the OpenID Connect protocol for handling authentication.

Authorization is the act of granting an authenticated party permission to do something. It specifies what data you're allowed to access and what you can do with that data. Authorization is sometimes shortened to AuthZ. Microsoft identity platform implements the OAuth 2.0 protocol for handling authorization.

Here you have full quickstart documentation, how to create a web app with a sign-in option within Microsoft Identity Platform: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-GB/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-v2-aspnet-webapp

Sample application scenarios: https://learn.microsoft.com/pl-pl/aspnet/core/security/authentication/azure-active-directory/?view=aspnetcore-3.1#application-scenarios
