We are new to Microsoft. Joined the developer program on behalf of my company and now want to add a 2nd person to enable his direct access. Same company, so how does he avoid being told it already exists when he signs up?

Is there any possibility to create sub-users under a user account using one license, but taking into account they need to have full access to the main functionalities of the CRM.
No. Even by sharing a user between multiple people you would likely be breaching your licence terms.
Without understanding why you would want to do this, if the reason is cost, I would suggest investigating Power Apps and Team Member licences. They are a cheap way to access Dynamics data, although can be restrictive.
Apologies for the basic question; we're having a spring clean of the office Active Directory and plan to remove a large number of legacy users. Saying good-bye to their email is not a problem, but we have an on-premise Dynamics CRM we occasionally refer to. My question is, will there be any implications for that if I delete a user who might have entered a case?
There is no direct link between CRM on-premise 2011 & Active Directory to pull all users overnight & sync. When you create a new user in CRM by giving domain name, it will verify in AD & pull the details to store in CRM. This will happen on tab out.
So when you delete/disable an AD user it won't flow down in Dynamics. But you have to disable them manually (no delete option available). Before doing that make sure to read these best practices.
Best Practices
Make sure to Re-assign any associated records/activities to another
User or Team before disabling User. If you don’t Re-assign the records
they will still be available, but they will still be assigned to the
disabled user.
It is very important to ensure that there are no Workflows owned by
the User to be disabled. All Published Workflows need to be owned by
an administrative account, not an employee’s account.
There are situations where a User’s account only needs to be disabled
for a short period of time, so records don’t necessarily need to be
Re-assigned. (Example: the User went on vacation for a month). Take
into consideration the User’s privileges for those records. If only
the User can modify that record, then no one will be able to modify
the record, if the owner is disabled.

I am using LUIS to extract intent for the user utterances. I have did it through my own free Microsoft account. Now how can I get a organization subscription? Is it free like the normal Microsoft account or billing different for the organization or enterprise accounts.
The documentation was not clear about the billing. Also I am new to Azure.
If this is something you are doing for your own business, then you can convert your free account to a Pay-As-You-Go account. Instructions are available here
If you are doing this for your employer then they would need to provide the subscription information to you and grant you contributor access.
The image in your question isn't really related to subscriptions or billing. Did you intend to include it? What the image is talking about is the active directory consent. Basically, your Luis app needs certain AD permission to do stuff, and only someone logged in with the correct privileges and 'consent' to granted them. The consent framework is a pretty large and important topic. Here is a great place to get started.
I hope this helps.
If I ask the app development company to host an app on their App store or their Google play store accounts, does this make them the legal owners of the app?
I want to stay the legal owner of the app. Does this affect my ownership rights by any means?
To ensure ownership of the App concept, IP and confidentiality:-
- Sign a IP rights document with the Dev Company.
- Sign a NDA with the Dev Company.
You might need more documents depending upon the laws of your country, so this step is not possible without consulting a lawyer.
Also, you need to ensure that:-
- You get all the source code with proper documentation.
- Also, make sure there are no encrypted files/libraries present in the source code.
Since, 2013 Apps can also be transferred between accounts if you happen to create one later.
================================
On the flip side
Why do you want to get into such a mess?
It is easy and cheap to create a Developer account. Just some straighforward paperwork and not more that 100$ for each platform (compared to the amount of resources you have already invested in creating the App)
Once you have the account, give the Dev company Developer access to your account. They can upload the App to your account with it. Once this is done and you have also ensured the you have all the source code, you have no dependencies on the Dev company.
I am trying to recruit some beta testers for an app of mine using Test Flight. None of the testers will be in house employees or anything like that- just some folks I know who would like to help test my app (I'm a hobbyist and don't have any employees anyways).
When I went to add somme users in ITC for test flight it made me assign them a role. The only role that made sense to me was "Technical". However, I am worried that assigning somebody I don't know well the technical role will allow them to make changes to my app descriptions, reject or submit binaries, and things like that.
Is that something I need to worry about? Is there a way to assign a user the role of JUST tester without giving them access to my apps via ITC?
Apple's documentation does not seem to explicitly state what users with various roles can do.
No, this isn't really safe, and it's not a good idea to give the 'Technical' role in iTunesConnect to someone you don't fully trust.
The iOS 8 TestFlight system has a way to setup external testers, see the "External testers" section on https://developer.apple.com/app-store/Testflight/
The downside is that your app has to go through the review team each time you make any major changes before it goes to external testers (hence if the tester is really a close part of your team it is still advantageous to add them as an internal tester by giving them the technical role). The reviews don't take as long as a normal App Store review.
Alternatives (that don't involve a review) are Crashlytics Beta Distribution (owned by Twitter) or HockeyApp (owned by Microsoft). There are other services too, or you can host IPAs on your own website (using the mechanism designed for enterprise apps) but generally doing this means you miss out on other features you get when using the more integrated solutions.
Short answer: no. It is not safe to add testers with technical role.
Long answer:
According to iTunes Connect, the user must have Admin or Tech.
After reading the comments, I will complete my answer with this.
There are Internal Testers and External Testers.
External Testers are not available as of yet (see https://developer.apple.com/app-store/Testflight/).
Only Internal Testers are allowed by now (which means, your testers WILL be able to change your apps).
Since you need the user to have minimum rights, you should add the user as Technical (the less risky, but still dangerous).
I see that there is a checkbox in iTC that lets you enable the Internal Tester role:
What permissions will the users have? Theoretically, they will only have access to the beta versions (but that is a guess, since I have not tried it yet). You could create an account for a fake internal tester and check that you can't modify apps with that role.
A technical users will have access to the 'My Apps' section of iTunes Connect. This means that they can change the description of an app in the app store, update prices and even remove an app from sale.
There is no way to have a user with just an 'internal tester' role. That's what external testers are for.
It is possible to grant someone access to test as an internal tester, but not have them be able to log into iTunes Connect.
Create an iTunes Connect User with the "Technical" role with an email address that they can receive. Then have them accept it with a different Apple ID.
As long as they cannot log into iTunes Connect with the email address you added as the "Technical" user, they cannot misbehave.
