When you are the resource partner administrator and you have a deployment goal to provide federated access to an application that resides in your organization (the resource partner organization), federated users both in your organization and in organizations that have configured a federation trust to your organization can access the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)–secured application that is hosted by an AD FS-enabled Web server in your organization.
