It looks like by default the tenant. creation is "Yes" from AAD -> User settings
Where it says all users can create the tenant. Should not it be the default "No" ?
Is it a new feature introduced in Azure? and from when? And why its default "Yes"
Screenshot
By default , users are given some set of permissions. But it all depends on whether the user is the member or a guest user or restricted guest user .
When a new tenant is created , the one who creates that tenant will be the only user and has global admin rights and can have access to creating tenant.
Guest user and restricted guest users doesn’t have directory permissions .
So if you need to change member access from user settings according to requirement, you can change that to no.
See Default user permissions - Azure Active Directory - Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Learn
Earlier tenant creation option itself was not present for user , but restriction to administration portal is by default set to NO and has to be set yes explicitly anyway to restrict users to admin portal.
Check this Restrict access to Azure AD administration portal - ALI TAJRAN
In the same way tenant creation must be set to no by newly created tenant admin.
When I created new user and loggen in , its default settings are according to what admin set with his admin privilige.
So When I set them using admin user account details
And then created user ,cannot access portal itself , as access to admin portal is restricted.
Or you can make only tenant creation restriction accordingly.

I have created guest users in my Azure AD tenant by sending invitations via email following this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/b2b-quickstart-add-guest-users-portal.
The guest users are added to my tenant once they accept the invitation.
Now I have assigned some applications to the guest users that they can access.
To enhance the security, I want to enable two-factor authentication for the guest users when they are accessing the application.
Is it possible to enable MFA for the guest users? If yes, can anyone guide me with the steps
Yes, it is possible to enable MFA for guest users.
To achieve your requirement, please follow the below steps:
Make sure whether you have Azure AD premium P1 or P2 license which is necessary to create conditional access policy.
To create conditional access policy,
Go to Azure portal -> Azure Active directory -> Security -> Conditional access -> Policies -> New policy.
In Grant tab, Select "Grant access" and Check mark "Required Multi factor authentication". Enable policy by selecting it On and Create.
I have tried in my environment, after creating policy I signed in as a guest user from Incognito window and it prompted for two factor authentication like below:
We have an Azure AD Tenant and External users from different organizations are added as Guest in this tenant.
When sharing content with other users, Guest users from different organization can see each other. Is there a way to prevent this enumeration? I see that a new Feature is comming wherin Guest user cannot be #mentioned
Try to set guest user access is restricted to properties and memberships of their own directory objects. This restriction level is the highest. When guests are restricted, they can only view their own user profiles but not other users. See: restrict guest user access.
Log in to the Azure portal as an administrator, go to User settings>Manage external collaboration settings>Select Guest user access is restricted to properties and memberships of their own directory objects (most restrictive)
I am trying to create a new service principal using the command below using azure cli v2.0.
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name ServicePrincipalName
Changing "ServicePrincipalName" to a valid URI of "http://ServicePrincipalName", which is the required format used for service principal names
Found an existing application instance of "abcd-8f27-47cf-9976-xkkfigif5e1de". We will patch it
Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.
I am not sure what privileges the Azure Admin of my tenant should assign to my user so i can create a servicePrincipal any guidelines or document pointers please
First, you have to know what this command will do. The command az ad sp create-for-rbac --name ServicePrincipalName will create an AD App(app registration) along with a service principal in your tenant, the AD App will have an Application ID URI named http://ServicePrincipalName, a Display name named ServicePrincipalName. Then the command will add the service principal to your subscription as a Contributor.
The error you got means there is already an AD App with the Application ID URI equals http://ServicePrincipalName existing in your tenant. And you are not the Owner of the AD App. (Note: in the tenant, the Display name is not unique, but the Application ID URI is.)
To solve the issue and use this command successfully, follow the tips below.
1.Change the ServicePrincipalName to a different one. (Or if your admin allow you to use the existing AD App mentioned above, just let him add your user account as an Owner to the AD App. - not recommend)
2.If your account's User type is just a Member in the tenant. Make sure in the portal -> AAD -> User settings -> Users can register applications is Yes. If your account is a Guest , except the Users can register applications need to be Yes, also User settings -> External collaboration settings -> Guest users permissions are limited need to be No.
3.Your user account should be the Owner of the subscription. Otherwise you can create the service principal successfully, but you cannot add it to the subscription.
Have AzureAD application for authentication with appRoles defined in the manifest. The roles are assigned to users and they are included in tokens of authenticated users as claims. This is the case with members of the current tenant as well as newly added guest users of type "Microsoft Account" for the source of authority. (The signInAudience of the application is set as AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount in the manifest.)
But for an existing guest user of type "External Azure Active Directory" for the source of authority, the appRole is not coming through the token claims. Is it worth trying to delete the guest user account and try readding it? Wouldn't this particular feature/behavior of appRoles be the same whether the source of authority for the guest account is "Microsoft Account" or "External Azure Active Directory"?
Or wondering might there be some additional/complementary setting that needs to be set or adjusted for the "External Azure Active Directory"?
PS: the authorization endpoint used currently is https://login.microsoftonline.com/common, and it authenticates just it's not getting the appRole, and it works with the appRole for the "Microsoft Account" type of guest account. Should that be changed however..?
Yup that was it. Based on suspicion tried changing the authority to tenant based https://login.microsoftonline.com/contoso.onmicrosoft.com and it worked... yes because guest user of type "External Azure Active Directory" would of course authentication against their tenant if using https://login.microsoftonline.com/common, and get their roles. So by forcing to authenticate against specific tenant where they are registered as guest users (where the roles are defined), the roles are added to the claims. Of course guest users of type "Microsoft Account" don't have their own tenants so were being authenticated against the tenant anyway... ha ha. Just found out this morning worked. First time using AAD, but kind of makes sense when think about it... Thnks!
I used Graph explorer->Logged in with Global administrator -> Modify Permissions-> chose User.ReadWriteAll,Group.ReadWriteAll,Directory.AccessAsUser.All and then select "access to your entire organization" and logged in again with global administrator
I get below error.
Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft' and cannot
access the application 'de8bc8b5-d9f9-48b1-a8ad-b748da725064' in that
tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the
tenant first. Please use a different account.
How can I add permissions to global administrator user?
Since your account is a guest in the tenant, you could not use the account to query the tenant, even if you are a global admin.
For more details, refer to this post.
Credentials are only owned by a single tenant. The tenant is discovered by Graph Explorer based on domain. You cannot use Graph Explorer to query tenants your account is a guest on, it can only query the tenant that owns the account. The only way to use those creds with another tenant would be to force the OAuth uri to use that tenants ID instead of "common". This isn't supported by Explorer. You'd have to download the source an reengineer the auth process
