What you'll learn
Access control in Azure is easy to get wrong and surprisingly hard to diagnose when it is. In this course, Azure Identity and Access Fundamentals, you'll gain the ability to apply and troubleshoot Azure role-based access control with confidence. First, you'll explore how Azure's identity and access ecosystem works, including the relationship between Entra ID and role-based access control (RBAC) and how identities, roles, permissions, and scope fit together. Next, you'll discover how to assign built-in roles at the correct scope and verify that access behaves as expected. Finally, you'll learn how to diagnose and correct a couple of common access misconfigurations — including cases where the problem turns out not to be RBAC at all. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Azure identity and access management needed to apply and troubleshoot basic identity and access issues.

Howdy fellow student of life! Thanks for your interest in learning more about what makes me tick. Throughout my tech career, I found that I had the most fun and the greatest satisfaction when I was helping others learn about and embrace software and related technologies. So, when I was honored to be offered a staff position as a training architect -- I realized a dream to combine my passion for technology and my passion for teaching others. I hope that the material I provide plays some small part in helping you pursue your passions, too. A leader of people, a shepherd of data -- and a follower of both -- I have more than 30 years in the tech industry, much of it focused on Microsoft stack services and databases, for both on-prem and cloud implementations. I cut my cloud teeth while reducing a patent to practice; we implemented a card game paradigm in a WCF service on Azure. It was late in 2012, when interacting with Azure involved a lot of co-mentoring with erstwhile Microsoft folks. I've had my head in the cloud(s) ever since!
