2. Login to the new AX instance
3. Go to System administration -> Users
4. Find the persona you want to use for the demo. In this case, for the demo I want to use April’s persona – who is an accounts clerk.
5. Now edit the record for April, enter the domain and alias of the new AAD user who wants to have the same security roles as April. You can follow my previous blog post to learn how to invite a user to an AX instance.
6. Now that you have setup this user, login to AX with the same account and you will have the same experience as April.
