Course Overview

The SC-300 Certification: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator course explores how to design, implement, and operate an organization’s identity and access management systems by using Azure AD. Learn to manage tasks such as providing secure authentication and authorization access to enterprise applications. You will also learn to provide seamless experiences and self-service management capabilities for all users. Finally, learn to create adaptive access and governance of your identity and access management solutions ensuring you can troubleshoot, monitor, and report on your environment. The Identity and Access Administrator may be a single individual or a member of a larger team. Learn how this role collaborates with many other roles in the organization to drive strategic identity projects. The end goal is to provide you with the knowledge to modernize identity solutions, implement hybrid identity solutions, and implement identity governance.

 

This course provides IT Identity and Access Professional, along with IT Security Professional, with the knowledge and skills needed to implement identity management solutions based on Microsoft Azure AD, and it connected identity technologies. This course includes identity content for Azure AD, enterprise application registration, conditional access, identity governance, and other identity tools.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

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

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.

  • Secure Azure AD user with MFA

Lab: 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

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.

  • 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 apps

Lab: Create a custom role to management app registration

Lab: Register an application

Lab: Grant tenant-wide admin consent to an application

Lab: Add app roles to applications and receive 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

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).

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

Lab: Create and manage a resource catalog with Azure AD entitlement

Lab: Add terms of use acceptance report

Lab: Manage the lifecycle of external users with Azure AD identity governance

Lab: Create access reviews for groups and apps

Lab: Configure PIM for Azure AD roles

Lab: Assign Azure AD role in PIM

Lab: Assign Azure resource roles in PIM

Lab: Connect data from Azure AD to Azure Sentinel

After completing this module, students will be able to:

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

Who Benefits

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.

Prerequisites

Successful learners will have prior knowledge and understanding of:

  • 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.
