User account in the new tenant

You are the first user of any new Azure AD tenants that you establish. The Global Admin position is automatically given to you as you are the initial user. You are by default also identified as the tenant's technical contact. You may modify the technical contact details in the Properties section.

How to clean up resources

The actions below can be used to remove the tenant if you decide not to use this application any longer:

  • Verify that you are logged in to the directory you wish to remove using the Azure portal's Directory + subscription filter. If necessary, switch to the target directory.
  • Select Azure Active Directory, and then on the Contoso - Overview page, select Delete directory.

The tenant is deleted along with all related data.
