Changing Users' Rights

Making a User an Admin

This process assumes that the 'Admin' role has already been created.

  • Log into the Azure Portal
  • Change directory to the one containing the Entra External ID
  • Select 'Microsoft Entra ID' from Azure Services
    • Or enter 'Entra' in the search bar
  • Select 'Enterprise applications'
  • Select the application from the list displayed in the body of the screen
  • Select 'Manage > Users & Groups' from the menu
  • Click 'Add user/group' (No need to select user at this stage)
  • Click 'None Selected' (in this case)
  • This will open a pane to the right. Tick the users you want to assign to the role. Click 'Select' at the foot of the pane.
  • In my case only 'Admin' was available as a role and was selected automatically.
  • Click 'Assign'
