Swami Yogananda had explained this well.
Maya has 2 functions
1) Para Prakiti: which is in sync with Brahman in the subtle and causal realms.

2) Apara Prakirti which took a Vikshepana( distorting) and Avarana( veiling) function when the gross world came into projection.

Just to add Ibn Arabi states the only God veils Himself by Himself because there can be none but God.
Ibn Arabi also states the Cosmic deluder is but a projectile power of God.

So this is my understanding but I usually dont prefer to dwell on Maya concept.

Why dwell on the Deluder..lets dwell on the God the most merciful most gracious...Karuna Sagara.
