An Azure user account is required for each user who wants to use Azure resources. All the data required to authenticate you throughout the sign-in procedure is contained in a user account. Azure AD creates an access token when you have successfully authenticated in order to authorize you, identify the resources you can use, and limit your access to them.
Working with user objects is done through the Azure portal’s Azure Active Directory dashboard. You can only work with one directory at a time, but you can switch between directories using the Directory + Subscription pane. The transition directory is a toolbar button on the dashboard that makes it simple to switch to another directory that is open.
User views
Select Users from the Manage menu in the left menu pane to view the Azure AD users. The pane for All Users appears. Access the portal and look at your users for a moment. Take note of the columns for User type and Identity issuer.
Typically, Azure AD defines users in three ways:
- Cloud identities: –These users are exclusive to Azure AD. Examples include user accounts that you administer yourself and administrator accounts. When a user is defined in another Azure AD instance but requires access to subscription resources managed by this directory, their source is Azure Active Directory or External Azure Active Directory. These accounts are erased after they are taken out of the main directory.
- Directory-synchronized identities: –These users are present in a local Active Directory. These users are added to Azure using a synchronization process that uses Azure AD Connect. Windows Server AD serves as their source.
- Guest users:- They are users who are not Azure users. Examples include Microsoft accounts, like an Xbox LIVE account, and accounts from other cloud service providers. The invited user is their source. When third-party vendors or contractors need access to your Azure services, this kind of account can be helpful. You can delete the account and all of their access after your need for their assistance has passed.
Utilize Azure Active Directory to restore or eliminate a recently deleted user.
After a user is deleted, their account is suspended for 30 days. The user account and all of its properties may be recovered during that 30-day period. The process of permanent deletion is initiated automatically when that 30-day period has passed.
Using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), you may view your recoverable users, restore a deleted user, or permanently delete a user from the Azure portal.
