Is Azure AI Document Intelligence available for trail and how we can activate the same for user.

Azure AI Document Intelligence is available to try, and it can be activated for users through an Azure subscription and a Document Intelligence resource.

To use it in trial mode:

1. Create an Azure subscription
   • Sign up for an Azure account. You can use the free account option to get started and avoid upfront costs.
2. Create a Document Intelligence resource
   • In the Azure portal, create a Document Intelligence (single-service) or Azure multiservice resource.
   • Choose the free pricing tier (F0) to try the service. This tier is specifically mentioned as suitable for trying the service before moving to production.
   • After deployment, go to the resource to get the endpoint and key if using key-based authentication.
3. Assign user permissions
   • To allow a user to access Document Intelligence Studio, assign at least the Reader role on the subscription/resource.
   • For using Studio with prebuilt and analysis models, assign the Cognitive Services User role on the Document Intelligence (or multiservice) resource.
   • For custom model projects, also assign Storage Blob Data Contributor on the associated storage account, and optionally Storage Account Contributor and Contributor for advanced setup.
4. Use Document Intelligence Studio
   • With the above in place, users can go to Document Intelligence Studio and start analyzing documents using prebuilt models or create custom projects, all backed by the free (F0) tier resource.

If local (key-based) authentication is disabled by policy, ensure Microsoft Entra roles are correctly assigned as described, since Microsoft Entra ID becomes the only authorization method.
