1 00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:06,153 When we're in Microsoft 365, we have user accounts that are 2 00:00:06,153 --> 00:00:10,470 enabled for various Microsoft 365 workloads. 3 00:00:10,470 --> 00:00:14,905 All of those user accounts are actually user accounts that also 4 00:00:14,905 --> 00:00:16,980 reside in Microsoft Entra ID. 5 00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:22,126 Microsoft Entra ID is the new name for Azure Active Directory, 6 00:00:22,126 --> 00:00:27,392 one of the first workloads associated with Microsoft 365 that 7 00:00:27,392 --> 00:00:32,657 provides all of the authorization and authentication services 8 00:00:32,657 --> 00:00:33,886 for Microsoft 365. 9 00:00:33,886 --> 00:00:38,580 Microsoft Entra ID is Microsoft's identity and access 10 00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:42,435 management solution, and it has its own portal, 11 00:00:42,435 --> 00:00:44,110 its own admin center. 12 00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:48,849 So to access the Microsoft Entry ID admin center, 13 00:00:48,849 --> 00:00:53,120 I'm going to go down my list of admin centers and go 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:54,293 into Identity. 15 00:00:54,293 --> 00:00:58,259 When I click on "Identity", I'm entering the Entra admin 16 00:00:58,259 --> 00:01:02,674 center and I'm entering the tenant that's associated with my 17 00:01:02,674 --> 00:01:04,695 Microsoft 365 subscription. 18 00:01:04,695 --> 00:01:07,271 When you first subscribe to Microsoft 365, 19 00:01:07,271 --> 00:01:12,410 you will have an Entra ID tenant that uses the Entra 20 00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:14,054 ID-free license. 21 00:01:14,054 --> 00:01:15,140 It is a free tenant. 22 00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:17,911 There's no additional cost associated to that, 23 00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:22,475 and it is where all of your users and groups will be stored. 24 00:01:22,475 --> 00:01:26,847 Not all your groups, only your Microsoft 365 groups and 25 00:01:26,847 --> 00:01:29,195 your security-enabled groups. 26 00:01:29,195 --> 00:01:33,066 The distribution list, those are still lists that 27 00:01:33,066 --> 00:01:34,921 reside for in Exchange. 28 00:01:34,921 --> 00:01:38,357 So this is where we will see all of our users and groups. 29 00:01:38,357 --> 00:01:42,290 You will see all the member users, all guests, invited users, 30 00:01:42,290 --> 00:01:46,852 and all the various groups that you create in Microsoft 365 you 31 00:01:46,852 --> 00:01:50,678 will see them represented here in Microsoft Entra ID. 32 00:01:50,678 --> 00:01:55,056 So different pieces of information that are relevant when we look at 33 00:01:55,056 --> 00:01:56,820 this specific admin center. 34 00:01:56,820 --> 00:01:58,750 First of all, if I click under users, 35 00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:03,137 all users, I see all of the users in my tenant. 36 00:02:03,137 --> 00:02:06,275 Now all of these names are blurred out for you on your screen. 37 00:02:06,275 --> 00:02:08,935 However, if you are an administrator and you 38 00:02:08,935 --> 00:02:10,111 are accessing this, 39 00:02:10,111 --> 00:02:13,106 you would be able to see all of these usernames and 40 00:02:13,106 --> 00:02:14,064 email addresses. 41 00:02:14,064 --> 00:02:19,499 This is also where we're going to enable multi-factor authentication 42 00:02:19,499 --> 00:02:20,472 or per-user 43 00:02:20,472 --> 00:02:23,581 MFA, per-user multifactor authentication will be 44 00:02:23,581 --> 00:02:26,758 enabled from here, and it is something that will 45 00:02:26,758 --> 00:02:30,408 allow you to force your users to use more than one form 46 00:02:30,408 --> 00:02:31,625 of authentication. 47 00:02:31,625 --> 00:02:34,973 And we'll be doing that in a later video in this course. 48 00:02:34,973 --> 00:02:38,923 This is where we can also reset password for users and do other 49 00:02:38,923 --> 00:02:40,580 tasks that we can also do 50 00:02:40,580 --> 00:02:43,711 from the Microsoft 365 admin center. 51 00:02:43,711 --> 00:02:47,606 It's important to note that whatever change you do for a user 52 00:02:47,606 --> 00:02:51,046 that relates to its password, its contact information, 53 00:02:51,046 --> 00:02:54,390 or any of its Entra settings, if you're making those 54 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:55,195 changes here, 55 00:02:55,195 --> 00:02:58,855 those changes are actually done on the same object that exists 56 00:02:58,855 --> 00:02:59,635 in Microsoft 365. 57 00:02:59,635 --> 00:03:02,645 The underlying infrastructure is the same. 58 00:03:02,645 --> 00:03:06,305 We're using the same technology, the Microsoft Entra ID tenant, 59 00:03:06,305 --> 00:03:11,739 whether we are using this admin center or we are using the 60 00:03:11,739 --> 00:03:14,313 Microsoft 365 admin center. 61 00:03:14,313 --> 00:03:16,520 So here I see all of my users. 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,845 I can check my sign-in logs as well to see when was the last time 63 00:03:20,845 --> 00:03:22,805 that my users have signed in, 64 00:03:22,805 --> 00:03:26,928 and which devices that they've signed in from, in which location, 65 00:03:26,928 --> 00:03:30,688 what was their IP address, what service they accessed, 66 00:03:30,688 --> 00:03:34,052 whether it was successful or a failed access? 67 00:03:34,052 --> 00:03:36,932 All of this information is accessible through 68 00:03:36,932 --> 00:03:38,045 the sign-in logs. 69 00:03:38,045 --> 00:03:43,661 I can also find here my groups, all groups that are accessed 70 00:03:43,661 --> 00:03:45,279 in Microsoft 365, 71 00:03:45,279 --> 00:03:49,571 whether they be Security, Distribution, or Microsoft 365 72 00:03:49,571 --> 00:03:53,458 groups, are accessible here in Microsoft Entra ID. 73 00:03:53,458 --> 00:03:58,155 So Microsoft Entra ID is also where I'm going to be able to 74 00:03:58,155 --> 00:04:00,017 specify my domain name, 75 00:04:00,017 --> 00:04:03,757 even though my domain name is something that already 76 00:04:03,757 --> 00:04:05,224 exists in Microsoft 77 00:04:05,224 --> 00:04:07,137 365, I see them here as well. 78 00:04:07,137 --> 00:04:11,230 You can add the custom domain name as we did in Microsoft 365, 79 00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:14,201 or we can add it here in Microsoft Entra ID. 80 00:04:14,201 --> 00:04:18,119 Both tools allow you to perform the exact same task. 81 00:04:18,119 --> 00:04:22,356 So it's important to note that Microsoft Entra ID has some 82 00:04:22,356 --> 00:04:25,850 duplication with the Microsoft 365 admin center, 83 00:04:25,850 --> 00:04:27,340 and that is by design. 84 00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:33,006 These are two tools that have overlap when it comes to settings 85 00:04:33,006 --> 00:04:35,930 such as naming, users, and groups. 86 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:39,279 However, some things can only be done in one portal as 87 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,479 opposed to another. 88 00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:45,059 Multifactor authentication is one of those things that relates only 89 00:04:45,059 --> 00:04:46,794 to Entra ID admin center. 90 00:04:46,794 --> 00:04:50,847 Anything else that relates to authentication actually is managed 91 00:04:50,847 --> 00:04:54,000 through the Microsoft Entra admin center.
