role needed to choose for beginner in IT for job

For a beginner starting in IT and preparing for AZ-900, the best role to choose is Administrator.

That matches the official Microsoft Azure Fundamentals course and certification pages, where AZ-900 is listed with the Administrator role.

A practical way to think about it:

1. Start with AZ-900 first
   • AZ-900 is a beginner-level certification.
   • It is designed to build foundational knowledge of:
     • cloud concepts
     • core Azure services
     • Azure management and governance features and tools
2. Choose the Administrator role for learning
   • The AZ-900 course is tagged for the Administrator role.
   • It is suitable for people who are just beginning to work with Azure.
   • It uses the Azure portal and command-line interface to create resources and does not require scripting skills.
3. Use AZ-900 as a starting point, not a final specialization
   • AZ-900 is described as a common starting point for a career in Azure.
   • It can help prepare for later paths such as Azure Administrator, Developer, Architect, or DevOps Engineer.
4. If the goal is the first IT job
   • AZ-900 is a strong entry point because it gives broad Azure and cloud fundamentals before choosing a deeper path later.
   • After AZ-900, the next role-based direction can be chosen based on interest, but for the learning portal role filter, Administrator is the right choice.
