The course is dedicated to the practical management of users, groups, multi‑factor authentication (MFA), and self‑service password reset (SSPR) within Azure Active Directory, now called Microsoft Entra ID. Earlier sessions covered the theory; this session is entirely hands‑on, aiming to explore every option that appears on the Azure AD dashboard.

Azure AD Dashboard Navigation

The instructor opens the Microsoft Entra admin center, the renamed portal for Azure AD, and walks through the main navigation panes. While demonstrating the interface, a brief mention is made of Azure AD Connect tools V2, which support server versions 2016, 2019, and 2022 for identity synchronization.

User Management

In the Users section, existing accounts are listed and new accounts can be added. Two creation paths are highlighted:

Create new user – adds an internal user that belongs to the tenant.
Invite external user – sends an invitation to a guest, granting temporary access.

User data can be exported as a CSV file, revealing all attribute columns. For bulk provisioning, a CSV template is provided; up to 249 users can be created with a single upload. The domain (e.g., teachmecloud.net) must be specified in the file. The instructor demonstrates bulk creation by uploading a CSV that includes [email protected] and [email protected]. An attempt to add a user named “Tata” fails, illustrating that not every entry will succeed automatically. After submitting the file, the system processes the request in roughly 30‑40 seconds before the new accounts appear.

Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA is described as “the dual security layer you want to apply for our active 365 user.” Activation is performed per user:

Open the user’s profile.
Click the three‑dot menu (…) and select Per‑user MFA.
Choose the user and click Enable.

On the user side, the setup requires entering contact details, installing the Microsoft Authenticator app, scanning a QR code shown by the admin, and entering the six‑digit one‑time password (OTP) generated by the app. Once MFA is configured, the user is prompted to create a new password because the temporary password is valid for only one use. The instructor completes the flow for the “gcp” account, confirming successful MFA activation.

Conclusion

The session covered single‑user creation, bulk provisioning via CSV, and the end‑to‑end MFA setup process. Upcoming lessons will expand into additional Azure AD services, building on the foundational tasks demonstrated today.

Takeaways

The session demonstrates how to create single and bulk users in Microsoft Entra ID, including downloading and uploading CSV files for up to 249 accounts at once.
It shows the difference between internal user creation and inviting external guest users, and how to specify the tenant domain in the CSV template.
The instructor walks through enabling per‑user multi‑factor authentication, from the admin profile to the user’s Authenticator app setup with QR code and six‑digit OTP.
After MFA enrollment, users must reset their temporary password because it is a one‑time use credential, reinforcing the second‑layer security model.
The practical lab prepares learners for future Azure AD services by covering core tasks such as user provisioning, bulk operations, and MFA configuration.

welcome to another session of advanced
Microsoft 365 course guys I'm anjit
ravati your online instructor and in
this class I'm going to help you how we
can manage the users group multi-factor
authentication and sspr service over
Azure active directory as we discussed
in previous class with the help of azure
active directory we are able to manage
lots of services related to Microsoft
365 Microsoft Azure InTune and Azure
virtual desktop the theoretical part we
have already completed so I'm going to
list the previous video in I button so
you just need to go through the
theoretical part because this class is
fully related to the Practical so we
will try to complete each and every
options which are available on our Azure
directed IIT dashboard so let's move
ourselves to the dashboard of azure ID
and try to understand about the concept
but before that if you are new on my
YouTube channel if you are watching my
video first time so please do subscribe
because teach me cloud is a single
Technical Training based YouTube channel
that give you 100 Life practical without
this skip any steps
this is Office 365 portal and I'm just
going to open admin center right because
if you want to open the intra admin yes
now the Azure act did actually become a
intra admin and you can also say that
they change the Microsoft change the
version of our active directory means
acted active V2 which is applicable for
only server 2016 19 and uh 2022 I'm
talking about the as the ready connect
tools V2
in the Microsoft 36
identity and it will redirect you on the
page of Microsoft intra admin means
Azure active directory
okay so it's mandatory we need to
configure multi-factor authentication
not not an issue I'm just going to
activate the multi-factor Authentication
okay this is the panel of azure active
directory and arts our responsibility to
understand about each and every features
which are available in this particular
dashboard so let me click on the users
click all users you will find the number
of users that you have already created
and it will also give us option to
create your new users so multiple method
we have so let me show you some steps
some method that can help us to create
to users like whenever we click on the
new user it will provide us two
different options one is create new user
and another is in white external user
the gap between new user and external
user you can consider new user means you
are trying to create a user directly
with the help of your own tenant the
meaning of external user whenever we
create any kind of guest user account
right you want to add some user for
temporary basis for few days for few
months so that we can proceed with the
external user and another option which
is related to the download the users if
we have a n number of users and you want
to know about the the attributes of our
existing users so you need to download
informat of CSV file
bulk operation that help us to create
multiple user on single click means you
are able to create up to 249 user on
single click with the help of CSV file
bulk invitation and bulk delete option
three different options are available
they are self-explained but I'll show
you the steps how we can create a bulky
user the another part which is available
in this particular panel per user MFA
multi-factor authentication yes it's
additional security that we are able to
configure for our existing user so do
one thing let me create multiple users
with the help of bulk operation just
need to click here go to the bulk
operation and it will give you one
example file so I'm going to download
this template and by using this
particular template we are able to
create multiple users but make sure
if you have a multiple domain so make
sure which domain you want to use to
create your user like in our case this
is teach me cloud.net so yes I'm just
going to create the users with name of
teachmecloud.net
open your uh what we can say say that
template of CSV file and after that we
need to provide the information about
our new users that you want to create
right
so wait for few more seconds and then
we'll provide the information about our
new users
this is the template file in format of
CSP so already available the examples
are already available like as a uh this
is the name and this is complete name
included with the the name of our domain
that we added and you need to provide
the password I don't want to block our
users so you can proceed with no so let
me create few users like as I wanted to
create user with name of gcp and gcp at
teach me cloud right.net
password as per your requirement you can
proceed with any password
I don't want to block so one
second user I want to create with name
of azure Azure at teach me cloud.net
right
and one more user just wanted to add
with name of Tata use net
so you just type you need to provide the
information about the number of users
that you want to create and again you
need to save it in the same format right
in CSV format
so I'm going to save it save as
in format of CSV
type the name of your user
bulk
users
okay I want to save it on desktop
bulk user I want to use another name
1988 okay save it
once you add the information about the
user in CSV file back to this panel
again and go to the bulk operation click
bulk create select the files that we
created the file that we created
bulk user 1988
we successfully uploaded the file and
click submit
it will take up to 30 to 40 seconds and
after that we are able to find the
entire users that you added in our CSV
file so this is the process that help us
to create a
bulk user operation in Azure active
directory right so I hope you guys are
able to understand about the concept of
bulky user or bulk operations
okay we need to check the issue what
exactly happened with bulk user
okay one user created and two user we
Face the issues okay no problem I think
we need to change the username
click on the user icon
all user and verify the gcp user and
Azure user both are created successfully
right so I think the Tata user we are
unable to create a Tata but gcp and
Azure both we successfully created both
are attached with teach me cloud.net
fine this is the way that we can use to
create our bulk user and now let's talk
about the multi-factor authentication as
per the name suggests the meaning of
multi-factor authentication is related
to The Dual security ER second layer of
security that you want to apply for our
acted active user are 365 user to
activate MFA click on three dot click on
the per user MFA
and it will redirect you on another page
like this I'm going to select um
MFA for gcp user select it and click
enable
click enable multi-factor authentication
within second we activated the
multi-factor authentication for gcp user
and now this is First Step Second Step
users need to perform their own tasks
the client responsible to perform the
second task
think like as a client we just need to
sign in and
gcp at teach me cloud.net
provide the password
okay no problem let me reset it
okay I need to reset the password
because the unfortunately I forget the
password for gcp users so let me reset
it and meanwhile will give you the steps
to configure multi-factor authentication
so you have already activated the MFA
from the back end from admin Center and
now this time user can proceed for the
next step because you need to set up
their on contact detail right you need
to establish their own Microsoft
Authenticator app so I'm just going to
proceed with I want to proceed with
different way this is the QR code that
you need to scan through your mobile
phone so in this case what you need to
do you need to download one
software the software name is Microsoft
authenticator app so let me scan it just
give me one minute
you need to scan the code
and click continue
it will provide you
six digit of code just like as a OTP so
I'm going to provide the detail that I
received in my mobile application means
Google Microsoft authenticator app
and click next we successfully authorize
we successfully activated the
multi-factor authentication for our gcp
user
we need to create new password it's
mandatory because in case of temporary
password which is applicable for one
time
and in in in first term you need to
reset your password
so we successfully activated
multi-factor authentication for the MFA
I hope you guys are able to understand
about the procedure to how to convert
how to create a multi-factor
authentication for our existing user
right so in this class what are the
topics that we completed we discussed
about the users how we can create user
how we can create bulk user by using the
CSV file and we successfully created the
multi-factor authentication so that's it
for today's session we'll connect
tomorrow and discuss more about the
Azure acted active Services because in
Azure active IIT service we have a lots
of topic that we need to cover so let's
connect tomorrow and discuss more about
Microsoft 365. take care guys bye bye
