Question

One email with two serperate azure accounts

David Gibbons 0

I have one email. With multiple subscriptions. This is a problem because I can control which subscriptions I have access to when I log in. I've tried. to authenticate with google,github,regualr azure authentication and it brings me to the wrong page.

Hello David Gibbons,

Azure does not sign you up for a subscription; instead, it signs you up as a tenant. Tenants own subscriptions.

Therefore, you see the incorrect page, incorrect subscriptions, or no access when the tenant context is incorrect and this is by design.

Authentication methods only establish your identity. They cannot choose which tenant you are a part of.

Azure utilizes Tenant of your home tenant or last utilized Tenant and hence That’s why every login takes you to the same or wrong place.

Hence to fix the issue:

Use tenant specific URL to login https://portal.azure.com/<TENANT-ID>, which guarantees the correct subscriptions every time.

Otherwise, make use of distinct accounts for each tenancy (personal, development, and production). Tenant uncertainty is completely avoided in this way.
