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.

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