What is a self-service sign-up in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)

Self-service sign-up in Azure AD involves users signing up for a cloud service, resulting in the automatic creation of their identity in Microsoft Entra ID, which is based on their email domain.

Why use self-service sign-up?

Expedite customers' access to their required services.
Generate email-based offers tailored to specific services.
Establish email-based sign-up processes enabling users to swiftly create identities using their easy-to-remember work email aliases.
Transform a self-service-created Microsoft Entra tenant into a managed tenant suitable for additional services.

How to control self-service settings?

Administrators can control whether:

Users can join the tenant via email
Users can license themselves for applications and services

Admins can customize these features by using the parameters of the Set-MsolCompanySettings cmdlet.

cmdlet	Usage
AllowEmailVerifiedUsers	This parameter governs user enrollment through email validation. Users can join the tenant only if their email domain matches a verified domain in the tenant. It applies company-wide to all tenant domains. Disabling this parameter ($false) prevents any email-verified user from joining the tenant.
AllowAdHocSubscrptions	This parameter regulates users' capability to engage in self-service sign-up. If set to $false, no user can initiate self-service sign-up.

Both the above-mentioned cmdlets are tenant-wide settings that can be applied to managed and unmanaged tenants.
