I have been testing Dynamics 365 in my personal Azure Active Directory where I have a couple of users. In order to test out the solution in hand, I had to add users with different roles to the same trial
instance of Dynamics 365. It was pretty hard to find proper documentation on how to do that.
The below procedure assumes that you already have created a Dynamics 365 trial instance with one of the users in your AAD having enough privileges. It also assumes that you have created the users in your Azure Active Directory already and given them with Global Administrator role/privilege. This is required because if your AAD is not associated with Exchange setup (Like mine), the owner of the trial receives an email to approve the request to join whereas if the user has got Global Administrator role, they automatically get approved and hence no email is required. Once the trial is approved, you can change the role back to User. Be sure that you do this before setting up the trial organization.
Be wary that, in a trial instance, you can have a total of only 5 users which means you can add only 4 more users.
To add more users, just follow the below guide -
- Go to the Dynamics 365 Trial page over here.
- Scroll down below and enter your user's
