What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Introduction to Identity Management in Azure AD
Understand the basics of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and its role in managing identities for Microsoft 365, Azure, and other cloud-based services. Learn the foundational concepts behind identity management and how it helps secure your organization’s resources.
Creating Identities in Azure AD
Learn how to create users in Azure AD manually or in bulk. We’ll walk you through the process of creating both cloud-only and hybrid identities and discuss the differences between them. Discover the various attributes you can assign to users and how to ensure that they have the correct access.
Configuring User Settings and Properties
Explore the key user settings in Azure AD, including password policies, user roles, and security options. We’ll show you how to configure properties such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), user authentication, and password expiration settings.
Managing Groups and Roles
Understand how to create and manage groups in Azure AD to organize users effectively. Learn about group-based access management and dynamic groups, which automatically adjust group memberships based on user attributes. We’ll also explain how to configure roles within Azure AD to manage permissions and access to resources.
Implementing Self-Service Identity Management
Learn how to configure and enable self-service features for users, such as self-service password reset (SSPR) and group membership management. This empowers users to manage their identities and access while reducing the burden on IT administrators.
Managing External Identities
Explore how to securely manage external users in Azure AD, including Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) scenarios. Learn how to configure external identities to enable users from other organizations or customers to access resources securely without compromising security.
Identity Synchronization with On-Premises Active Directory
Learn how to synchronize on-premises Active Directory (AD) with Azure AD to create hybrid identity solutions. We’ll guide you through Azure AD Connect and explain how to manage hybrid identity environments effectively.
Best Practices for Identity Management
Discover best practices for managing identities in Azure AD, including role-based access control (RBAC), identity governance, and ensuring that your identity environment is secure and compliant with organizational policies.
Auditing and Monitoring Identity Activities
Learn how to audit and monitor identity-related activities in Azure AD. Understand how to use Azure AD logs and reports to track user actions, detect anomalies, and ensure that your identity management system is functioning correctly.
