Create an Azure Service Account User
--------------------------------------

The following section explains how to create a global reader
user that allows the MS Teams collector in Azure to access
the MS Teams admin API and gather the data that will be sent to
the dashboard server.

1. Log in to portal.azure.com and select the Azure active directory icon
#. Azure Active directory > **Users**
#. **+ New user**
#. Fill out the following:

   * Username
   * Name
   * First Name
   * Last Name
   * Let Me create the password > Enter a password
   * Group = Company specific (left blank in lab)
   * Roles = Global Reader

  Select **Create**



The user needs to log in once to ensure and make sure there are
no password issues or authentication issues. This will ensure the
following do not stop a successful connection:

* Password is correct
* Password has not expired
* Not forcing user to change password on first login
* No need to verify user password via email
* No need to verify user password via text
* No two factor authentication with passcode generator
* User is not being directed to a on premise active directory
* User can login successfully


5. The user needs to log in once to change the password for the first time
   and verify Admin.

   Navigate to http://admin.microsoft.com/.

   Choose **Use another account**.
