Adding an Azure User to Windows 11

I'm on a Windows 11 Pro PC trying to add a new user. In family and Other Users, I tried to add the user under "other users" but since this is an Office 365 user and not a Microsoft user, I cannot add the user here. Trying something different, I tried to add a work account, and that was successful, but I cannot log in as that user into this PC.

What am I doing wrong?

I need to be able to add an Office 365/Azure user so that they can log in with UserName@OfficeDomain.com.

    Brain fart moment:

    Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School > Connect to work or school account > Join this device to Azure Active Directory > "Join" on "make sure this is your organization warning" page > will be joined to AADDS!
