Study Notes

Identity Management Solution Implementation

Initial configuration of Azure Active Directory (AD) is crucial for identity management.
Azure AD includes around 60 built-in roles that come with fixed permissions.
Custom roles can be created to complement built-in roles within Azure AD.

Azure and Azure AD Roles Comparison

Azure roles differ from Azure AD roles, which are specific to identity management.
Classic subscription administrator roles have distinct functionalities compared to Azure AD roles.

Role Assignment and Management

Administrative roles in Azure AD enable management of Microsoft 365 products.
To simplify access, Azure AD roles can be assigned to groups, aiding role management with fewer resources.
Emergency access accounts should be established to prevent administrative lockout scenarios.

Custom Domain Management

New Azure AD tenants receive an initial domain ending in .onmicrosoft.com, which cannot be altered.
Organizations can add custom domain names for user-friendly email addresses (e.g., [email protected]).
Subdomains inherit authentication settings from the root domain unless managed independently through Microsoft Graph API.

Self-service sign-up in Azure AD allows organizations to grow their user base independently.
Azure AD registered devices support BYOD scenarios, enabling access via personal devices.
Azure AD joined devices cater to organizations without on-premises directory infrastructures, while hybrid Azure AD joined devices bridge both environments.

Administrative Units and Delegation

Administrative units allow delegation of roles by restricting permissions to specific organizational sections.
They can contain only users and groups, facilitating assistance like Helpdesk Administrator roles for regional management.

User Permissions and Settings

Azure AD assigns default user permissions based on user types (members vs. guests) and role assignments.
Security defaults address identity-related threats like password spray and phishing through preconfigured settings.
B2B external collaboration settings control guest invitations, enhancing privacy and security within the organization.

Organizational Privacy Information

It's advisable to include a global privacy contact and an organizational privacy statement for users to understand data policies.
