AZ-104 Azure Identity - LAB Perform Bulk Microsof Entra ID Operations in the Portal

Bulk Create Users

Download and Edit the Template Used to Bulk Create Users

1. In the Azure portal, click the hamburger icon at the top-left of the screen to open the menu.

2. From the menu, select Microsoft Entra ID.

3. From the menu on the left, select Users.

4. From the menu at the top, click the Bulk operations drop-down.

5. Click Bulk create.

6. In the Bulk create user pane that displays on the right, click the Download button to download the latest CSV template.

7. Navigate to and open the CSV template file that was downloaded.

8. View the fields included in the template. Take note of any required fields and the total number of fields, as you will need to include some sort of information for each field.

   Note: The template provided from Microsoft may be updated over time, and the fields included in the template (both required and optional) are subject to change. For that reason, we cannot provide you with a list of fields and the information to include or a mocked up file to be uploaded.

9. Enter information for the three new users you want to add, including data for — at minimum — each of the required fields.

   • The required fields likely include the user's name that is aligned with their Name and a username (in the form of an email address) that is aligned with their User Principal Name in AD.

   • To obtain the proper domain for the User Principal Name field, navigate back to the Azure portal and click on a user in the All users list; where their User Principal Name is listed, copy the domain following the @ symbol (including the @ symbol), and paste it into the template for each user you create.

   • The remaining fields will need to be accounted for in the template with a comma.

   • Do not include spaces between the commas and the field data. Spaces between them will cause the upload and bulk creation process to fail.

   • For example, at the time this lab was made, an entry in the template included the following fields:

     [First Name] [Last Name],[username]@[userPrincipalName],[password],No,,,,,,,,,,,,,

     Amos Smith,[email protected],password123!,No,,,,,,,,,,,,,

10. Once you have entered the users to be added, save your changes to the file.
