Authorization and Managing Identity in Azure

SkillUp connects Azure governance with authentication and fine-grained authorization. Hybrid identity, encryption and role-based access provide a focused view of how users and workloads obtain access. The course belongs to an AZ-305 architecture sequence but teaches an administrative subject directly relevant to Azure identity work; it is listed here as a focused supplement rather than full AZ-104 preparation.

What you will learn

• Connect cloud governance with identity decisions.
• Compare hybrid authentication and data-protection mechanisms.
• Explain a role-based access strategy.

Who this suits

The provider identifies intermediate study within an Azure architecture route. Bring Azure foundations and review the lab requirements before beginning the identity examples.

Before you enroll

AZ-305 design study and AZ-104 administration have different scopes. Compare this course with your specific identity gap and current Microsoft Entra terminology rather than assume it covers an entire examination.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for included assessments, certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Access conditions can change; review the current offer before paying.

Put it into practice

Design permissions for a small fictional team with different responsibilities. Explain the role boundary, authentication assumption and audit evidence, then test one denied action in a disposable learning environment.
