Creating a new user from 365 admin panel

• To start you must have access to an admin account with access to the 365 admin panel.
• Once signed in, navigate to the Office 365 admin portal
• Click the users dropdown then choose active users
• Near the top click Add User
• Input information such as name and username
  • The username will become their email address and login email address
• Set the password and choose any desired options
• Click next and assign a license to the user, in this case, I will choose Business Premium as there are 23 available still
• If there are no remaining licenses you can check the desired license and when you click next it will ask you to purchase another.
• After assigning a license you can assign the user roles, such as admin privileges
  • Choose any appropriate roles or just click next to skip
  • These settings can always be changed later by the administrator
• Finally, click finish adding
• The user has now been created and can be used. Depending on licensing the user now has an Outlook email as well as the Azure AD user
  • A user's Outlook mailbox may take up to an hour to be created, so that may not be available right away
• The user will login with their username@domainname, this can be viewed from active users and was set during user creation.

Creating a new user from Azure AD

• To start you must have access to an admin account that is part of the Azure Domain
• Navigate to the Azure Active Directory portal and sign in with an admin account
• On the left, click users
• Near the top click new user
• Input a username, which will be used to sign in and a display name.
  • If you have multiple domain names in your organization you can choose the domain in the drop-down next to username
• Scrolling down, you can assign the user to roles or groups if you want to
• There are other settings, such as blocking sign-in from locations if you want to set those
• Once all of those are set, you can click create user and it will make the new user.
• By default, Azure AD is going to create an unlicensed user, so if you want to assign a license to the user you can do that once the user is created
  • This can be done by clicking on the user in the lists of users, choosing licenses from the left, and then clicking assignments towards the top. The license can then be checked and services can be removed if you would like.
  • Click save, and the user is now licensed
