User and Access Management in Systems

Microsoft 365 only knows who reports to whom if somebody tells it. That "somebody" is the Manager field on each person's account, next to their Job title. Fill them in, and Outlook, Teams and the apps you build all know who someone's manager and direct reports are, and what their role is.
Before anyone can sign in to Microsoft 365, they need their own user account. An account on its own isn't enough, though: until it has a license, the person can't use Outlook, Teams, SharePoint or Power Apps. The Microsoft 365 admin center creates the account and assigns the license in one short wizard. You'll use it here.
A team address like support@ is usually a distribution list — and creating the list is only half the job. Until someone has Send As permission on it, the team can receive mail at that address but cannot reply from it, and that permission lives in a different admin center from the one where you create the list.
Sooner or later a flow needs to find a person — the manager to notify, the owner of a request, the account behind an email address. The Search for users (V2) action from the Office 365 Users connector does exactly that: give it part of a name or an email address and it returns every matching Microsoft 365 user.
Your manager, client, or product owner wants to see project progress without you exporting a status report every week. Most platforms have some kind of view-only role for this — but "free" means three very different things, and picking the wrong one is how teams end up with a surprise invoice.
You logged into Azure DevOps and noticed the Repos option is completely missing from the left sidebar. You cannot clone, push, or even browse any repository. This is most commonly caused by having Stakeholder access level, but there are other reasons too.
