Create and Manage Azure AD Users in the Portal

Scenario

To help you walk through the lab, consider the following scenario:

You work as a senior systems administrator, and the management of Azure AD is one of your many responsibilities.

As a senior team member, it's also important that you share your knowledge with other colleagues.

Your manager has recently asked you to provide a walkthrough of basic user management tasks for a group of new Helpdesk team members.

Using an empty demonstration Azure AD tenant you have configured, you are going to demonstrate the following:

• Creating a new user
• Modifying existing user accounts
• Revoking access for users
• Deleting user accounts

Lab Setup

Log in to the Azure portal by right-clicking Open Azure Portal and selecting the option to open it in a new private browser window. (This option will read differently depending on your browser — for example, in Chrome, it reads Open Link in Incognito Window.) Then, sign in using the credentials provided on the lab page. If you receive a prompt for more information during the log in process, simply select Skip for now

The objectives for this hands-on lab can be completed using the Azure portal. Specifically, all tasks will be performed using the Azure Active Directory service pages.

Note: The Azure AD UI has been slightly updated since the creation of this lab. Please refer to the lab guide to view updated steps and verbiage.
