Microsoft / Security and identity
Administer identity and access
Understand users, groups and application access before working with identity policy.
Optional foundation
Check your starting knowledge
Use SC-900 to review the basics. You do not need to take this foundation exam to follow our route. If you already know the material, move on.
SC-900 — Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals
Core learning · SC-300
Learn the role, one area at a time
Work through the official guide and its learning resources. Use these three study blocks to organize your notes; the official skills outline remains your complete coverage checklist.
- 1.Manage identities and authentication
- 2.Control application and workload access
- 3.Govern privileges and review access
Hands-on consolidation
Put it into practice
Design joiner, mover and leaver access for a fictional team. Include conditional access, emergency access and periodic reviews; test policy only in a lab.
Ready to move on when…
You can explain least privilege and avoid locking out administrators while testing policy.
Use a dedicated lab and synthetic data, never an employer's production environment. Check licensing and costs before provisioning; budget alerts do not stop spending. Remove resources when finished.
Review & exam planning
Find gaps with our SC-300 test
