LAB No. 01

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 or perform the Task 2 after Task 3 in that new Azure AD tenant.

Sign in to Azure Portal https://portal.azure.com

In the Azure portal, search for and select Azure Active Directory.

On the Azure Active Directory blade, scroll down to the Manage section, click User settings, and review available configuration options.

On the Azure Active Directory blade, in the Manage section, click Users, and then click your user account to display its Profile settings.

Click edit, in the Settings section, set Usage location to United States and save the change. Note: This is necessary in order to assign an Azure AD Premium P2 license to your user account later in this lab.

Navigate back to the Users - All users blade, and then click + New user.

Create a new user with the following settings (leave others with their defaults): 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 Note: Copy to clipboard the full User Principal Name (user name plus domain). You will need it later in this task.

In the list of users, click the newly created user account to display its blade.

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.

In the Manage section, click Assigned roles, then click + Add assignment button and assign the User administrator role to az104-01a-aaduser1. Note: You also have the option of assigning Azure AD roles when provisioning a new user.

Open an InPrivate browser window and sign in to the Azure portal (https://portal.azure.com) 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.

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.

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.

In the InPrivate browser window, on the Azure AD blade, in the Manage section, click Users, and then click + New user.

Create a new user with the following settings (leave others with their defaults): User name - az104-01a-aaduser2 Name - az104-01a-aaduser2 Let me create the password - enabled Initial password - Pa55w.rd1234 Usage location - United States Job title - System Administrator Department – IT

Sign out as the az104-01a-aaduser1 user from the Azure portal and close the InPrivate browser window.

Back in the Azure portal where you are signed in with your user account, navigate back to the Overview blade of the Azure AD tenant and, in the Manage section, click Licenses. Note: Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 licenses are required in order to implement dynamic groups.

In the Manage section, click all products.

Click + Try/Buy and activate the free trial of Azure AD Premium P2.

Refresh the browser window to verify that the activation was successful.

From the Licenses - All products blade, select the Azure Active Directory Premium P2 entry, and assign all license options of Azure AD Premium P2 to your user account and the two newly created user accounts.

In the Azure portal, navigate back to the Azure AD tenant blade and click Groups.

Use the + New group button to create a new group with the following settings: Group type - Security Group name - IT Cloud Administrators Group description - Contoso IT cloud administrators Membership type - Dynamic User Note: If the Membership type drop-down list is grayed out, wait a few minutes and refresh the browser page.

Click No members selected.

From the Add members blade, search and select the IT Cloud Administrators and IT System Administrators groups and, back on the New Group blade, click Create.

Back on the Groups - All groups blade, click the entry representing the IT Cloud Administrators group and, on then display its Members blade. Verify that the az104-01a-aaduser1 appears in the list of group members. Note: You might experience delays with updates of the dynamic membership groups. To expedite the update, navigate to the group blade, display its Dynamic membership rules blade, Edit the rule listed in the Rule syntax textbox by adding a whitespace at the end, and Save the change.

Navigate back to the Groups - All groups blade, click the entry representing the IT System Administrators group and, on then display its Members blade. Verify that the az104-01a-aaduser2 appears in the list of group members.

Task 5: Clean up resources

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.

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.

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.

Repeat the same sequence of steps to delete the remaining user accounts you created in this lab.

Navigate to the Groups - All groups blade, select the groups you created in this lab, click Delete, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK.

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.

Navigate to the Users - All users blade, click the entry representing the az104-01b-aaduser1 user account, on the az104-01b-aaduser1 - Profile blade click Delete, and, when prompted to confirm, click OK.

Navigate to the Contoso Lab - Overview blade of the Contoso Lab Azure AD tenant, click Manage tenant and then on the next screen, click Delete tenant, click the Get permission to delete Azure resources link, on the Properties blade of Azure Active Directory, set Access management for Azure resources to Yes and click Save.

Sign out from the Azure portal and sign in back.
