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.
**Note:** An **[interactive lab simulation](https://mslabs.cloudguides.com/guides/AZ-104%20Exam%20Guide%20-%20Microsoft%20Azure%20Administrator%20Exercise%201)** is available that allows you to click through this lab at your own pace. You may find slight differences between the interactive simulation and the hosted lab, but the core concepts and ideas being demonstrated are the same.
>**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.
1. In the Azure portal, search for and select **Azure Active Directory**.
1. On the Azure Active Directory blade, scroll down to the **Manage** section, click **User settings**, and review available configuration options.
1. On the Azure Active Directory blade, in the **Manage** section, click **Users**, and then click your user account to display its **Profile** settings.
1. In the list of users, click the newly created user account to display its blade.
1. 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.
1. In the **Manage** section, click **Assigned roles**, then click **+ Add assignment** button and assign the **User administrator** role to **az104-01a-aaduser1**.
1. 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 to a secure password of your choosing.
1. 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.
1. 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.
1. In the **InPrivate** browser window, on the Azure AD blade, in the **Manage** section, click **Users**, and then click **+ New user**.
1. Create a new user with the following settings (leave others with their defaults):
1. 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**: It can take up to 10 minutes for the licenses to activate. Continue refreshing the page until it appears. Do not proceed until the licenses have been activated.
1. 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.
1. In the Azure portal, navigate back to the Azure AD tenant blade and click **Groups**.
1. Use the **+ New group** button to create a new group with the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Group type | **Security** |
| Group name | **IT Cloud Administrators** |
| Group description | **Contoso IT cloud administrators** |
1. Back on the **Groups - All groups** blade of the Azure AD tenant, click the **+ New group** button and create a new group with the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Group type | **Security** |
| Group name | **IT System Administrators** |
| Group description | **Contoso IT system administrators** |
| Membership type | **Dynamic User** |
1. Click **Add dynamic query**.
1. On the **Configure Rules** tab of the **Dynamic membership rules** blade, create a new rule with the following settings:
1. Back on the **Groups - All groups** blade of the Azure AD tenant, click the **+ New group** button, and create a new group with the following settings:
| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Group type | **Security** |
| Group name | **IT Lab Administrators** |
| Group description | **Contoso IT Lab administrators** |
1. 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**.
1. 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.
1. 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.
>**Note**: There is a known issue with the Captcha verification in the lab environment. If you receive the error **Creation failed. Too many requests, please try later**, do the following:<br>
- Check the **Manage tenant** section to ensure the tenant wasn't created in the background. <br>
- Open a new **InPrivate** window and using the Azure Portal and try to create the tenant from there.<br>
Raise the problem with the trainer, then use the **[interactive lab simulation](https://mslabs.cloudguides.com/guides/AZ-104%20Exam%20Guide%20-%20Microsoft%20Azure%20Administrator%20Exercise%201)** to view the steps. <br>
- You can try this task later, but creating a tenant isn't required in other labs.
> **Note**: The **Initial domain name** should not be a legitimate name that potentially matches your organization or another. The green check mark in the **Initial domain name** text box will indicate that the domain name you typed in is valid and unique.
1. Display the blade of the newly created Azure AD tenant by using the **Click here to navigate to your new tenant: Contoso Lab** link or the **Directory + Subscription** button (directly to the right of the Cloud Shell button) in the Azure portal toolbar.
1. Return to the first tenant that you created earlier. Do this by using the **Directory + Subscription** button (directly to the right of the Cloud Shell button) in the Azure portal toolbar.
> **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.
> **Note**: Don't worry if the lab resources cannot be immediately removed. Sometimes resources have dependencies and take a longer time to delete. It is a common Administrator task to monitor resource usage, so just periodically review your resources in the Portal to see how the cleanup is going.
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 **Yes**.
1. 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**.
1. Repeat the same sequence of steps to delete the remaining user accounts you created in this lab.
1. Navigate to the **Groups - All groups** blade, select the groups you created in this lab, click **Delete**, and, when prompted to confirm, click **OK**.
1. 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.
1. 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**.
1. Navigate to the **Contoso Lab - Overview** blade of the Contoso Lab Azure AD tenant, click **Manage tenants** and then on the next screen, select the box next to **Contoso Lab**, click **Delete**, on the **Delete tenant 'Contoso Labs'?** blade, 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**.
> **Note**: If a tenant has a trial license, then you would have to wait for the trial license expiration before you could delete the tenant. This would not incur any additional cost.
