Lab description

The Microsoft 365 Admin Center is used to manage an organization in the cloud. You can manage users, manage subscriptions and licenses, manage teams and groups, and much more through this admin center. A system administrator may use the Microsoft 365 Admin Center as part of their day-to-day IT work. The Microsoft 365 Admin Center can be a system administrator's one-stop-shop for managing Microsoft 365 user accounts. 

In this lab, you will:

  • Create a new user account
  • Amend user details and assign licenses
  • Delete and restore a user

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.
