I am a Microsoft 365 admin for our school district. I would like to for a few of the teachers be granted the ability to add or delete student accounts without having any additional admin privileges. This would greatly assist our staff while ensuring security. We are a Google-based district using Chromebooks and MacBooks, but essential that our ICEV students have access to Microsoft 365 to meet their curriculum needs. Are there any settings that would allow for this to happen?

Hi @sgee1760,
Absolutely, you can delegate user management tasks to specific teachers without granting them full administrative privileges by using Administrative Units in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). This allows you to assign limited administrative roles scoped to specific groups of users.
Here's how you can set this up:
Create an Administrative Unit (AU):
Add Student Accounts to the AU:
Assign Teachers to the AU with Specific Roles:
Benefits of Using Administrative Units:
Additional Considerations:
Feel free to reach out if you need any further guidance on configuring these settings!
