In this tutorial, you set up a lab with virtual machines for your class. To set up a classroom lab in a lab account, you must be a member of one of these roles in the lab account: Owner, Lab Creator, or Contributor. The account you used to create a lab account is automatically added to the owner role. So, you can use the user account that you used to create a lab account to create a classroom lab.

A lab owner can add other users to the **Lab Creator** role. For example, a lab owner adds professors to the Lab Creator role. Then, the professors create labs with VMs for their classes. Students use the registration link that they receive from professors to register to the lab. Once they are registered, they can use VMs in the labs to do the class work and home work. For detailed steps for adding users to the Lab Creator role, see [Add a user to the Lab Creator role](tutorial-setup-lab-account.md#add-a-user-to-the-lab-creator-role).

Here is the typical workflow when using Azure Lab Services:

1. A lab account creator adds other users to the **Lab Creator** role. For example, the lab account creator/admin adds professors to the **Lab Creator** role so that they can create labs for their classes.
