Manage identity and access in Microsoft Entra ID

Identity basics for cloud workloads

This Microsoft Learn path focuses on the identity side of cloud administration. It shows how to configure Microsoft Entra ID so that subscriptions, users and groups are set up correctly before any workload depends on them.

The 3 modules

• Managing users and groups in Microsoft Entra ID
• Securing user sign-in with multifactor authentication
• Letting users reset their own passwords through self-service

Why identity comes first

Many access problems start with who is signed in and what they are allowed to do. Getting users, groups and sign-in protection right early on saves a lot of rework when more services are connected later.

Good for

Administrators new to Entra ID, and helpdesk staff who handle password resets and account lockouts and want to understand the controls behind them. The whole path takes 1 hour 59 minutes, so it fits a single sitting.
