How to create multiple accounts for training

JS 0

Hello, my team needs to train another team (~80 people) on Azure DevOps. We were thinking to use some training accounts that are not connected to their work accounts. Our hope is that we can deliver the training off-site without them even using their normal work computers. How might we go about this? What are the steps we might have to follow to set everything up so learners can arrive and easily login and access our training materials? Thanks!

Any other insights welcome :)

Hello,

I would recommend creating a completely separate tenant for this type of event. You don't even need a domain and could use "newco.onmicrosoft.com" try conduct the training for Azure DevOps.

If they have their own devices, they could easily login through a browser.

If they don't have their own devices, configure your devices to have a local account that they can log into, or domain the machines with "newco.onmicrosoft.com" and they can sign in as themselves.

Hopefully this gives you some ideas.

Thanks @Dillon Silzer

My students only need Azure Boards, and Test Plans. I might create a simple static site so they can observe a whole CI/CD process but this training is around documenting requirements and user acceptance testing for analysts.

I imagine I might have a new organization with different projects for each day of training (4 days of 20 students each). I was hoping to create their accounts ahead of time so they could just log in through the browser and join their project, from a sticky note at their desk.

Looking at the pricing it seems that Azure DevOps services with test plans is marked at $52 per user/per month. I have 80 students who only need access for one day each. This seems excessive — is there a better approach? Something that I am missing here?

Thanks!
