- Create an Azure AD test user - to test Azure AD single sign-on with Britta Simon.
- Assign the Azure AD test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Azure AD single sign-on.
- Create Voyance test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in Voyance that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
- Test single sign-on - to verify whether the configuration works.
