You can use the Active Roles Web Interface to create and enable a new cloud-only Azure user.

To create a new cloud-only Azure user

  1. On the Active Roles Web Interface, navigate to Directory Management > Tree > Azure > <azure-tenant-name> > Azure Users.

    The list of cloud-only Azure users in your Azure tenant then appears.

  2. To start creating a new Azure user, in the right-side pane, click New User.

  3. In the New User window, on the General tab, specify the details of the new Azure user (First name, Last name, Display name, User principal name, Alias, and Description).

    NOTE: The Display Name field supports special characters. However, to avoid any potential problems in Active Roles when managing the Azure object, do not use any semicolons (;) in the specified display name.

    NOTE: As per the Microsoft Office 365 design, multiple groups with the same name can exist, however the alias names of each group must be different.

  4. To apply your changes and create the new Azure user, click Finish.

    The new cloud-only user then appears in the Azure User list of the Active Roles Web Interface.
