Purpose
Demonstrate onboarding, access management, identity operations and offboarding.
Business scenario
A fictional organisation (lab scenario) needs to manage the joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle for its staff across Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. This lab models those identity operations in an isolated tenant.
Objectives
- Create and manage users, groups and licensing.
- Configure role-based access and MFA policies.
- Model onboarding and offboarding workflows.
- Support common Microsoft 365 access and productivity issues.
- Document identity operations for repeatability.
Environment & scope
- Microsoft 365 tenant (lab)
- Entra ID users, groups and roles
- Conditional access / MFA policies
- Licensing and access assignment structure
Interview & discussion questions

- How would you design an offboarding process that protects company data?
- When would you use conditional access instead of per-user MFA?
- How do you apply least privilege to identity and role assignments?
- What identity signals would you monitor for suspicious activity?
