Azure and Office 365 From Administrator and User Perspective.
Azure and Office 365 From Administrator and User Perspective.
If I understand Microsoft Azure can involve many Administrators to manage their own areas (DBA, Virtualization Administrator, Active Directory Administrator ,etc...)
Office 365 Administrator seems to me that it can be a subset of Active Directory Administrator as they can manage users and Groups , email accounts in addition to billing and other things.
-- Now, who gives right to someone to be Office 365 Administrator ? is it done by Azure Active Directory Administrator ?
-- who gives rights to someone to be Azure Active Directory Administrator ?
--- Do we need special infrastructure to have Office 365 Administrator and Azure Administrator ? I mean do we need to have ADFS in the company ? do we need to have AD connector to connect to Azure ?
Thank you

This solution is only available to members.

by default, the office 365 global admin can and does manage azure AD. so the global admin role pretty much has all power across the ecosystem. the first person to sign up for a new tenant by default will be this global admin. another global admin or the global admin account can I sign any other user this role

Azure Admin Console, manages not only Active Directory. it Manages Virtualization, Database, if I m not wrong it manages also Storage and Networking.... So do we need Administrator for each of those areas (AD, DB,Virtualization, Networking,Storage..etc...

you can have specific admins for different parts of azure or a single admin for all of it. just depends on your subscription as to the features available. but by default, tenant/global admin manages all services in the tenant.

I meant each area requires specific expertise.. Active Directory Admin probably does not know about managing Storage or Databases...
Azure Console, seems like one glass pane for several Admins to manage their areas.
Office 365 Console, is geared towards Active Directory Admin, as it is about Users/Computers Accounts, and Exchange
