Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
  • Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) fundamentals, including its role as a centralized identity and access management platform for users, groups, and applications.
  • Architecture and licensing tiers, understanding the differences between:
    • Free
    • Basic
    • Premium P1
    • Premium P2 (advanced security capabilities)
  • Identity management in Azure AD:
    • Managing users (internal, Microsoft accounts, and guest users)
    • Managing groups (Security and Microsoft 365 groups)
    • Differentiating between:
      • Azure AD roles (identity-level permissions)
      • Azure RBAC roles (resource-level permissions)
  • Application integration and authentication model:
    • Difference between:
      • Application objects (global app definition)
      • Service principals (instance within a tenant with assigned permissions)
    • Registering applications, generating client secrets, and assigning API permissions
  • Advanced security features (Premium P2):
    • Conditional Access policies to control login conditions
    • Identity Protection for detecting risky sign-ins
    • Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for just-in-time admin access
  • Baseline security protections, including:
    • Enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for administrators
    • Blocking legacy authentication protocols
    • Applying predefined security policies to reduce attack surface
  • Practical administration tools and workflows:
    • Using Microsoft Authenticator for MFA enrollment
    • Managing identities and applications via the Azure CLI
    • Performing actions as a service principal for automation and scripting
This lesson provides a complete foundation for managing identities, securing access, and implementing modern cloud-based authentication and authorization controls within Azure environments.
