Create an Admin Unit Demo
Administrative units allow the delegation of active directory administration to subsets of custom-defined users, groups, and devices. When administrative units were first made available, they could only be managed via the Azure portal, PowerShell, and Microsoft Graph. While this lesson looks at administrative units in general, it pays special attention to Microsoft 365 admin center functionality. The overview looks at what administrative units are and why you use them, followed by an in-depth look at what scenarios they support and their limitations. We then create an administrative unit through the Microsoft 365 admin center and see how it looks when viewed through the Azure portal.
