Lab scenario
In order to allow Contoso users to authenticate by using Azure AD, you have been tasked with provisioning users and group accounts. Membership of the groups should be updated automatically based on the user job titles. You also need to create a test Azure AD tenant with a test user account and grant that account limited permissions to resources in the Contoso Azure subscription.
Objectives
In this lab, you will:
- Task 1: Create and configure Azure AD users
- Task 2: Create Azure AD groups with assigned and dynamic membership
- Task 3: Create an Azure Active Directory (AD) tenant
- Task 4: Manage Azure AD guest users
Estimated timing: 30 minutes

Instructions
Task 1: Create and configure Azure AD users
In this task, you will create and configure Azure AD users.
Note: If you have previously used the Trial license for Azure AD Premium on this Azure AD Tenant you will need a new Azure AD Tenant and perform the Task 2 after Task 3 in that new Azure AD tenant.
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. In the Azure portal, search for and select Azure Active Directory.
3. On the Azure Active Directory blade, scroll down to the Manage section, click User settings, and review available configuration options.
4. On the Azure Active Directory blade, in the Manage section, click Users, and then click your user account to display its Profile settings.
5. Click edit, in the Settings section, set Usage location to United States and click save to apply the change.
Note: This is necessary in order to assign an Azure AD Premium P2 license to your user account later in this lab.
6. Navigate back to the Users – All users blade, and then click + New user
7. Create a new user with the following settings (leave others with their defaults):
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| User name | az104-01a-aaduser1 |
| Name | az104-01a-aaduser1 |
| Let me create the password | enabled |
| Initial password | Pa55w.rd1234 |
| Usage location | United States |
| Job title | Cloud Administrator |
| Department | IT |
8. In the list of users, click the newly created user account to display its blade.
9. Review the options available in the Manage section and note that you can identify the Azure AD roles assigned to the user account as well as the user account’s permissions to Azure resources.
10. In section, click Assigned roles, then click + Add assignment button and assign the User administrator role to test1.the Manage
Note: You also have the option of assigning Azure AD roles when provisioning a new user
11. Open an InPrivate browser window and sign in to the Azure portal using the newly created user account. When prompted to update the password, change the password for the user.
Note: Rather than typing the user name (including the domain name), you can paste the content of Clipboard.
12. In the InPrivate browser window, in the Azure portal, search for and select Azure Active Directory.
Note: While this user account can access the Azure Active Directory tenant, it does not have any access to Azure resources. This is expected, since such access would need to be granted explicitly by using Azure Role-Based Access Control.
13. In the InPrivate browser window, on the Azure AD blade, scroll down to the Manage section, click User settings, and note that you do not have permissions to modify any configuration options.
14. In the InPrivate browser window, on the Azure AD blade, in the Manage section, click Users, and then click + New user.
15. Create a new user with the following settings (leave others with their defaults):
| Setting | Value |
| User name | Test2 |
| Name | Test2 |

Task 5: Clean up resources
Note: Remember to remove any newly created Azure resources that you no longer use. Removing unused resources ensures you will not incur unexpected costs. While, in this case, there are no additional charges associated with Azure Active Directory tenants and their objects, you might want to consider removing the user accounts, the group accounts, and the Azure Active Directory tenant you created in this lab.
1.In the Azure Portal search for Azure Active Directory in the search bar. Within Azure Active Directory under Manage select Licenses. Once at Licenses under Manage select All Products and then select Azure Active Directory Premium P2 item in the list. Proceed by then selecting Licensed Users. Select the user accounts az104-01a-aaduser1 and az104-01a-aaduser2 to which you assigned licenses in this lab, click Remove license, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK.
2. In the Azure portal, navigate to the Users – All users blade, click the entry representing the az104-01b-aaduser1 guest user account, on the az104-01b-aaduser1 – Profile blade click Delete, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK
3. Repeat the same sequence of steps to delete the remaining user accounts you created in this lab.
4. Navigate to the Groups – All groups blade, select the groups you created in this lab, click Delete, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK.
5. In the Azure portal, display the blade of the Contoso Lab Azure AD tenant by using the Directory + Subscription button (directly to the right of the Cloud Shell button) in the Azure portal toolbar.
6. Navigate to the Users – All users blade, click the entry representing the test3 user account, on the test3 – Profile blade click Delete, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK.
