Every user needs to have an Azure AD account to use any Office 365 service. Whether that account is mastered in Azure AD (e.g. you create it directly there), or it's synchronized from your on-premises AD is up to you.

Does anyone know if that's correct? We have several hundred employees that don't need a computer or Office, but do need e-mail, for timesheet purposes. We want to give those folks E1 licenses.
