In Azure Active Directory, how can I create a guest user who is prompted for a password on every sign-in and prompted to change his password on the first sign-in?
After inviting a guest user in the portal (Active Directory -> Add User -> Invite User (by email)) and accepting the invitation, the user cannot change his password.
Sign-in always prompts for email OTP, attempts to change the password as the user fail.
Members can be changed to guests after creation.
Create a new User (Member)
Edit the user to add the email address
Edit the user to change the user type to Guest
Such a user will be prompted to change his password on the first sign-in and is prompted for the password on further sign-ins.

Question: In Azure SQL Managed Instance, what is the procedure for setting Password Expiration when using Azure Active Directory (AAD) Authentication? As shown below, in SSMS, I see Password Expiration option is grayed out:
To set Password expiration policy for Azure AD user accounts, you need to have Global Administrator role on your tenant.
If you don't have that role, contact admin and get yourself assigned with Global Administrator role like below:
Go to Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Users -> Select user -> Assigned roles -> Add assignments
Login to Microsoft 365 admin center with above Global admin credentials and follow below steps to set password expiration policy:
Go to Microsoft 365 admin center -> Settings -> Org settings -> Security & privacy
By default, this option is set to passwords never expire for entire organization like below:
If you want to set password expiration for particular number of days, uncheck the box and enter the number like below:
If you want to set password expiration policy for specific user, you can use below PowerShell commands:
Connect-AzureAD
#To check the expiration policy for a password of specific user
Get-AzureADUser -ObjectId <userID/UPN> | Select-Object UserprincipalName,#{
N="PasswordNeverExpires";E={$_.PasswordPolicies -contains "DisablePasswordExpiration"}
}
#To set password to expire
Set-AzureADUser -ObjectId <userID/UPN> -PasswordPolicies None
Response:
Reference:

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 web app which implements Azure AD sign in for authentication. After authenticating user with the help of Microsoft Graph I grab few details like email of the user and then look for user in my database.
The problem is, lets say the user gets authenticated in Azure AD account but the email is not present in database. In that case I want when user again try to authenticate then Sign in page by azure should be showed again.
When I log in to azure portal select my SQL Database -> Tools -> QueryEditor and enter:
ALTER USER MyUser WITH Password = '**********'
I get the error:
Failed to execute query. Error: The parameter PASSWORD cannot be
provided for users that cannot authenticate in a database.
I've created the user in Visual Studio Database Project in MyUser.sql (Build Action=Build):
CREATE USER [My_User] WITHOUT LOGIN WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo];
Why I'm getting the message?
Is it possible to create the User in Database Project so that I will specify the password later (not is source code)?
Your user is not a contained database user that can be authenticated by database. This is because you did not create it with syntax
CREATE USER user_name WITH PASSWORD = 'strong_password';
What you've created is a "traditional" user without login, in "traditional" model user cannot have a password, only the corresponding login can. But your user has no corresponding login as it was created without login, so you cannot change a password at all.
Here you can find more detailes about contained database urers: Contained Database Users
When I change AD password using ldap I can login using both old and new passwords for few minutes.
Can I disallow logins with old password or is there any way I can reduce validity of changed password to few seconds instead of minutes.
