I need guidance on setup as soon as possible

Question

I want to share devices with my developers ... 4 of us

I went into my Azure account and "invited" them

After they accept I can make them an admin right ?

Next, I need to claim the devices ...

So I simply create a tenant with this command azsphere tenant create --name <Stephens-tenant> right ?

I then login using azsphere login

Then I add myself using this command azsphere login --newuser <email-address> right ?
To add the other developers they use the same command ?

Then I claim each device into that tenant with this command azsphere device claim ?

Then all 4 of us can use the devices and put code on them and test ?

Do the users have to be in Azure AD first ?

Thanks!

Update: 09-08-2020 We have a confirmation on this question.
"Users don’t need an Azure AD (organizational) account. They can also use a ‘personal’ Microsoft account too"

I highly recommend to go through the whole documentation first/initially and then only start the device claim process.
Also please browse the other questions which are already posted by different customers, so that you get an idea of what benefits/challenges the other customers faced in this process.
