As a global admin, I created a new user admin and added it to groups and administrative unit but unfortunately when I log into admin center using this user admin credentials, the add user option is greyed out even on Entra Id. What may be causing this issue and how can I resolve it?

    Hi Adetola, Thanks for your question here in Q&A. How is your administrative unit setup - just to confirm it for the assigments, properties and so. Regarding the new admin user, are the User administrator role activated or are you using Entra ID PIM to activate the User Administrator role? See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privileged-identity-management/pim-how-to-activate-role Regarding restrictions for administrative units, see docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/role-based-access-control/admin-units-restricted-management there maybe can help too regarding the different setup types. Let me hear from you, and I will try to help you. Thanks.
