Creating Users in Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft has currently disabled new registrations for the MS 365 Dev program. For the time being, please treat the lab as read-only or bring your own MS 365 account. Our team is currently working on an update, thank you for your understanding.
As a help-desk analyst, you may be tasked with creating a digital identity for new starters in your company. User accounts in Microsoft Entra ID are an identity type that can be used to access various resources within an organization, restricting access levels via roles and permissions. A user identity represents an individual's digital footprint in that organization.
In this lab, you will create a new user in Microsoft Entra ID.
Note: Due to this lab requiring the creation of a Microsoft 365 organization with an Admin Center, if you don't already have one you will need to provide a mobile phone number to pass the account creation process.
