The challenge

What needed to be solved

Model how a modern organization can separate privileged access, manage users centrally, strengthen authentication, and preserve evidence of identity activity.

The approach

How I worked through it

I created separate administrative and standard identities, organized access through a security group, enabled MFA, and reviewed both sign-in and audit events.

The result

What the work demonstrated

The environment demonstrated a complete identity workflow: provisioning, access assignment, stronger authentication, activity monitoring, and change auditing.

Process

From problem to validation

01

Separate identities

Created administrative and standard user accounts to apply least privilege and avoid unnecessary privileged activity.

02

Centralize access

Created the IT-Team security group and assigned membership to model group-based access control.

03

Strengthen authentication

Enabled multi-factor authentication for user accounts as an additional identity protection layer.

04

Monitor and audit

Reviewed sign-in events and audit logs to verify successful access and track user, MFA, and group changes.
