Chapter 4: Managing Local Users, Groups, and Devices

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Managing local users
  • Managing local groups
  • Managing devices

In this chapter, you will learn about the differences between authentication and authorization. You will learn about the various logon accounts and how you can customize them. This is important as users need to have access to data that is stored on file servers and on other network connected devices. We will focus on how to manage Windows 10 devices in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and how to manage local users and local groups.
