Do you know if there is a way to disable the only verified custom domains usage when new create a new Azure Active Directory user.For example i want to create a user that is using gmail. I have tried to add gmail as custom domain and verify it, but noticed that the steps are related to the dns records of the domain so i cannot do this. I know i can use the invitation service, but i want to directly to create the user without invitation. So did someone experienced this, and if soo i am open for advices.
Have a nice day and stay safe.
It is not possible to create a user in Azure Active Directory that is using Gmail. In order to create a user in Azure Active Directory you need to add your domain and verify in Azure Portal.
You need to get your domain name by Go daddy etc... then you need to add in Azure Active directory and verify it. After that you can create a user name under that domain.
I recommend you to go through this two documents to get more detailed information.

I am trying to create a new Blazor server app and configure it to use a new Azure Active Directory that I recently created. I have found a couple tutorials online showing how to do this, including one from Microsoft, but I keep encountering an error that says "The user account doesn't have the required permissions to access the domain."
I read online that I needed to verify that my user account is assigned to the Global Administrator role, which I did and it is. I have tried to create 3 different active directories in Azure to see if it was a fluke, but I have received the same error message each time.
Any help that you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that you have signed in to Visual Studio with an admin account of the domain (here it should be "thomasagarza#yahoo.com").
After adding the account, you can apply filter for it (select the domain it is an member in). Make sure you have added it as the guest of that domain and assign Global Admin role to it.
Then all the related domains will be listed when you create a new project with Work or School Accounts Authentication. Select the domain which "thomasagarza#yahoo.com" is the admin in and click on OK. Generally you won't be required to enter your credential again in this step.
Please note if you have a custom domain for your AAD tenant and have made it primary, the domain listed here will be the custom domain name. In this case, if you manually set the domain as the format "***.onmicrosoft.com", you will get the error you are facing.
I've been tasked with figuring out a way to make a certain set of Azure users authenticate to a Web Application by accepting/denying a warning message that should be presented before the users are directed to the application itself. The users that should not go through this process are in-network users.. they should be able to input the URL and be presented with a sign-in page and from there they will have access into the application. This has already been configured via Azure AD but the previous issue for out of network users is what i'm having issues with.
My current thoughts on this is to create an a simple authorization page created by an azure function that out of network users will be directed to because the IP addresses will be placed in a conditional access rule to do so. From the simple page the user will be directed to the application or logged out if they choose cancel.
This is just a thought but definitely open to suggestions. Thoughts?
For those who may have been interested in an answer for this question I have figured it out. In order to do this I had to create a "Terms Of Use" within Azure Active Directory. This Terms of use consisted of a pdf file containing the information my user needed to view before accept/deny could be clicked. On the "Terms Of Use" was created I then created a custom conditional access policy which included users needing to accept the "Terms Of Use" before being able to access our Portal or Applications. Hope this helps
I am new to Azure. I am getting myself confused very fast. My company has a project on Azure. We are looking to grant access to our external developers so they can log into our account and build a product for us ( setup a VM with mysql dbs and build an application ).
The only options I see are to invite users from another Active Directory or users who are in my own Active Directory? Is there no option to simply create a sign in credential for a user with say " email at gmail dot com" ?
What am I missing? I have created a Resource group but still can't invite anyone of our external consultants in there.
You can invite any user to manage your resources or your subscription.
There are 3 conditions for it:
You have the right to add it to your Azure AD
you are the owner of the subscription
The 'Guest user' already has an Azure account or a Microsoft Account
Then you have to go to:
Resources/Subscriptions
Access Control
Select a role (i.e. Contributor)
Type in the Account/Email of your external team member
check the checkbox and send the invitation
If you want to create generic users you can go straight forward to your AD and create a user i.e. developer1#contoso.onmicrosoft.com and add this user to the resource/subscription. Don't forget to take note of the credentials you created
So you would use Azure RBAC for that. Just click on the Resource Group > Access Control > Add.
You could also consult this blogpost for best practises.
If you just need them to develop and access SQL or a web App, you can pass the publish profile and SQL connection string to them.
Also, you can setup continous integration for the web App or virtual machine and pass git or GitHub or whatever source control you are using and pass the URL for the project, then they will commit the source code and fire a new build
So, finally I decided to jump into the Azure bandwagon and create my own portal. At the moment, my apps are hosted on Google Apps and I'm considering moving them to Azure and O365 before which I wanted to trial and get the taste of MS Azure.
I signed up for a trial subscription and my management URL ended up something like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MynameMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. So I decided to delete this account and set up a new account altogether trying to sign up with a new domain alias. And now it is https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MyaliasMydomainname.onmicrosoft.com. MS Support would't help and would want me to sign up for O365 which I don't want to at the moment.
Why my management portal always has my complete e-mail address and how do I edit it?
Edit: Thought would add the following example to explain my problem a bit easier.
My name is Muthu and I already have an e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com and now I attempt to set-up my Azure around it. I sign up for a Microsoft account with the e-mail address Muthu#Contoso.com, provide my card details and successfully set up the account. Now, the logon URL looks like https://manage.windowsazure.com/#MuthuContoso.onmicrosoft.com and the default directory has the UPN of #muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
I set up an account for a user Eddie, George and Mark and their UPN appears as follows:
Eddie#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com
George#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com and
Mark#muthucontoso.onmicrosoft.com.
How do I get rid of my name from the domain name here?
P.S.: I managed to get rid of my name from the Management portal URL by simply verifying my ownership of contoso.com using O365 control panel but still couldn't get around to rename the default directory. I can't force my name for the users in my organization just because I signed up for it. There should be some way around. Kindly help.
When loging in you're actually signing in to an aad tenant.. Which is bound to a subscription... As you can have multiple subscriptions and tenants they need to show you where you are
We have Single Sign-on working for a test application in Azure, using Azure Active Directory and the on-premise server running DirSync to synchronise the user details.
I have added a Custom Domain and verified it, by adding TXT records to the DNS entries at my registrar's website. In order to do this, I followed advice (from stackoverflow questions) that I needed to untick the option that said "I plan to configure this domain for single sign-on with my local Active Directory", in order to gain access to the additional information that allows me to prove ownership of the domain.
As a result, the domain has been verified and Azure recognises this, allowing me to see the domain as being 'verified', but the Single Sign-On value for this custom domain is set to 'Not Planned'.
The problem is now, I want to be able to re-tick that check box, and enable this domain to be used with the single sign-on, as I don't want to have to tell my users to use their log-in email addresses as 'username#something.onmicrosoft.com' as they'll never get it and will pester me to change it.
So, my question is: Is there a way to re-tick this box, and change the status of this field away from that of 'Not Planned', and (hopefully) to allow my users to sign in using their username#domain.com instead?
I have tried to remove the domain and re-add it, but Azure stops me from deleting it, as it's probably already well utilised in the rest of the processes. Also, I have no ability (or at least that's how it seems!) to go back into this custom domain within Azure and modify it.
UPDATE: I have tried to Deactivate the Directory Integration directory sync - this allows me to adjust the sync'd user's email addresses, but they're reverted back to .onmicrosoft.com once the sync is Activated again.
UPDATE 2: I have tried to install PowerShell to remotely administer the custom domain to becoming active, but I just cannot connect, despite several hours of trying.
If you added (and verified) a domain without ticking the checkbox, your domain is considered "standard", or "managed". You can convert this domain to a "federated" domain with the Convert-MsolDomainToFederated cmdlet from the Azure Active Directory PowerShell module:
Convert-MsolDomainToFederated -DomainName "contoso.com"
Tip for next time: After you add the domain with the single sign-on tick, you can run the following to get the DNS records to verify the domain:
Get-MsolDomainVerificationDns -DomainName "contoso.com"
