Creating a user template
Creating a user template in Microsoft 365 helps streamline the process of adding new users by predefining a set of properties that can be applied to multiple users. This is especially useful for onboarding employees in similar roles or departments efficiently and consistently.
Getting ready
Ensure you have administrative access to the Microsoft 365 admin center. User templates can only be created and managed by users with appropriate admin roles, such as a Global Administrator or User Administrator.
How to do it…
- Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center at https://admin.microsoft.com.
- Navigate to Users | Active users, then select User templates near the top of the page, as shown in Figure 2.26.
