Quickstart: Create a new tenant in Microsoft Entra ID

You can do all of your administrative tasks using the Microsoft Entra admin center, including creating a new tenant for your organization.

In this quickstart article, you'll learn how to get to the Azure portal and Microsoft Entra ID, and you'll learn how to create a basic tenant for your organization.

Note

Only paid customers can create a new Workforce tenant in Microsoft Entra ID. Customers using a free tenant, or a trial subscription won't be able to create additional tenants from the Microsoft Entra admin center. Customers facing this scenario who need a new tenant can sign up for a free account.

Create a new tenant for your organization

[!INCLUDE portal updates]

After you sign in to the Identity portal, you can create a new tenant for your organization. Your new tenant represents your organization and helps you to manage a specific instance of Microsoft Cloud services for your internal and external users.

Note

  • If you're unable to create a Microsoft Entra ID or Azure AD B2C tenant, review your user settings page to ensure that tenant creation isn't switched off. If it is not enabled you must be assigned at least the Tenant Creator role.
  • This article doesn't cover creating an external tenant configuration for consumer-facing apps; learn more about using Microsoft Entra External ID for your customer identity and access management (CIAM) scenarios.

To create a new tenant

Your user account in the new tenant

By default, you're also listed as the technical contact for the tenant. Technical contact information is something you can change in Properties.

Clean up resources

If you're not going to continue to use this application, you can delete the tenant using the following steps:

  • Ensure that you're signed in to the directory that you want to delete through the Directory + subscription filter in the Azure portal. Switch to the target directory if needed.

  • Select Microsoft Entra ID, and then on the Contoso - Overview page, select Delete directory.

    The tenant and its associated information are deleted.
