Students do not have email addresses
Hi,
I work within a school where the students have local Microsoft accounts but do not have email addresses or MS teams accounts. Is it possible to allow students to login, create accounts and join worlds without these?

Yes, the email addresses you setup in the Microsoft Admin dashboard are really just usernames for signing in. The students don't have to read or write email from those addresses.

Students will need to use a Microsoft account in order to play. You can incorporate other emails but those need to be tied to a Microsoft account in order to login. For instance: Minecraft: Education Edition is available to schools that use Google accounts. With that said, Minecraft: Education Edition licenses can only be assigned to Microsoft accounts. This leaves you with a couple of options. You can utilize Single Sign On, so users only need to log in once, then they'll be auto logged in for the future on that device account. Or you can set up a SAML federation between the Microsoft tenant and your Google accounts, thus linking them and allowing one login between the two.
SAML Federations do require some extra steps, but you can find some extra info under "Option 2" in this article:

Всем привет, что делать, если у школы нет адреса электронной почты и аккаунта Microsoft, но я хочу научиться программированию в Minecraft самостоятельно?

Hey there!
Sure! You can always check out a personal home version of Minecraft Education if your school does not have it!

Do keep in mind there is currently a purchase freeze in effective until September 4th, but after that you can purchase Minecraft Education for yourself! Let us know if you have further questions!
