Hi, I want to setup my own Lab with limited resources so I can give the access to my other team members. It should he like some cloud training providers are giving the temp Id and pwd for training and with that login and pwd users are able to get those limited resources.

    Hello! If I understand your scenario correctly, you want to create a lab with limited/set resources where you can grant various users temporary access. You can absolutely do this with Azure DevTest Labs! I'm including the documentation that will walk you through the setup process below, but essentially what you'll want to do is:

    • Create the resource/sandbox you want team members to have limited access to (documentation)
    • Either add or remove users (and adjusting permissions) as needed (documentation)

    Customize permissions with custom roles: You likely won't need this for your scenario but it's good to know that you can use role-based access control (Azure RBAC) for more fine-grained access management.
