User accounts in Microsoft Entra ID consist of various types, each designed for specific roles and access levels within an organization's environment.

 

1.Administrator Accounts: These accounts possess elevated privileges and are tasked with managing identity-related functions within the Microsoft Entra organization. Administrators can create, modify, and delete user accounts, assign administrative roles to others, reset user passwords, manage user licenses, and undertake other essential tasks related to identity management.

2.Member User Accounts: Member user accounts are inherent to the Microsoft Entra organization and are typically for internal users. They possess default permissions enabling them to manage their profile information and perform other basic tasks within the organization. However, they lack administrative privileges such as creating or deleting user accounts.

3.Guest User Accounts: Guest user accounts have limited permissions within the Microsoft Entra organization. They are invited to collaborate with the organization from external domains and can sign in using their work, school, or social identities. Guest users have restricted access to specific resources as determined by the organization, ensuring controlled collaboration with external partners or stakeholders.

Additionally, when a user account is deleted, it enters a suspended state for a specified period during which it can be restored if necessary.
