  1. Select to “create” or “auto-enerate” a password.
  2. Input or click “show password” to view the auto-generated one.

Step 5: Assign Groups & Roles (Optional)

There are a few different options to choose from, including User, Global Administrator, and more. Depending on what you’re using Azure AD for, you may need to assign a different role. Just choose the one that’s right for you!
