Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator (SC-300)

This course is for the Identity and Access Administrators who are planning to take the associated certification exam, or who are performing identity and access administration tasks in their day-to-day job. This course would also be helpful to an administrator or engineer that wants to specialize in providing identity solutions and access management systems for Azure-based solutions; playing an integral role in protecting an organization.

• Security best practices and industry security requirements such as defense in depth, least privileged access, shared responsibility, and zero trust model.
• Be familiar with identity concepts such as authentication, authorization, and active directory.
• Have some experience deploying Azure workloads. This course does not cover the basics of Azure administration, instead the course content builds on that knowledge by adding security specific information.
• Some experience with Windows and Linux operating systems and scripting languages is helpful but not required. Course labs may use PowerShell and the CLI.

Module 1: Implement an identity management solution

Learn to create and manage your initial Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) implementation and configure the users, groups, and external identities you will use to run your solution.

Lessons

• Implement Initial configuration of Azure AD
• Create, configure, and manage identities
• Implement and manage external identities
• Implement and manage hybrid identity

Lab : Manage user rolesLab : Setting tenant-wide propertiesLab : Assign licenses to usersLab : Restore or remove deleted usersLab : Add groups in Azure ADLab : Change group license assignmentsLab : Change user license assignmentsLab : Configure external collaborationLab : Add guest users to the directoryLab : Explore dynamic groups

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Deploy an initail Azure AD with custom settings
• Manage both internal and external identities
• Implement a hybrid identity solution

Module 2: Implement an authentication and access management solution

Implement and administer your access management using Azure AD. Use MFA, conditional access, and identity protection to manager your identity solution.

Lessons

• Secure Azure AD user with MFA
• Manage user authentication
• Plan, implement, and administer conditional access
• Manage Azure AD identity protection

Lab : Enable Azure AD MFALab : Configure and deploy self-service password reset (SSPR)Lab : Work with security defaultsLab : Implement conditional access policies, roles, and assignmentsLab : Configure authentication session controlsLab : Manage Azure AD smart lockout valuesLab : Enable sign-in risk policyLab : Configure Azure AD MFA authentication registration policy

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Configure and manage user authentication including MFA
• Control access to resources using conditional access
• Use Azure AD Identity Protection to protect your organization

Module 3: Implement access management for Apps

Explore how applications can and should be added to your identity and access solution with application registration in Azure AD.

Lessons

• Plan and design the integration of enterprise for SSO
• Implement and monitor the integration of enterprise apps for SSO
• Implement app registration

Lab : Implement access management for appsLab : Create a custom role to management app registrationLab : Register an applicationLab : Grant tenant-wide admin consent to an applicationLab : Add app roles to applications and recieve tokens

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Register a new application to your Azure AD
• Plan and implement SSO for enterprise application
• Monitor and maintain enterprise applications

Module 4: Plan and implement an identity governancy strategy

Design and implement identity governance for your identity solution using entitlement, access reviews, privileged access, and monitoring your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Lessons

• Plan and implement entitlement management
• Plan, implement, and manage access reviews
• Plan and implement privileged access
• Monitor and maintain Azure AD

Lab : Creat and manage a resource catalog with Azure AD entitlementLab : Add terms of use acceptance reportLab : Manage the lifecycle of external users with Azure AD identity governanceLab : Create access reviews for groups and appsLab : Configure PIM for Azure AD rolesLab : Assign Azure AD role in PIMLab : Assign Azure resource roles in PIMLab : Connect data from Azure AD to Azure Sentinel

After completing this module, students will be able to:

• Mange and maintain Azure AD from creation to solution
• Use access reviews to maintain your Azure AD
• Grant access to users with entitlement management
