Planning and Managing Azure AD Identities

As you’ve seen throughout this book, identity is the foundation of Azure AD. Without it, people wouldn’t be able to access services. Azure AD identity covers a broad range of objects, including cloud-only accounts, synchronized accounts, and external accounts (as well as groups, devices, and contacts).

Each of these types of objects has a purpose, and one is generally more suited to a business case than another.

In this chapter, we’re going to look at the following topics, as they relate to the MS-100 exam objectives:

  • Creating and managing users
  • Creating and managing guest users
  • Creating and managing groups
  • Managing and monitoring Microsoft 365 license allocations
  • Performing bulk user management
