My personal Microsoft account has been added to an organisation’s Azure/Entra tenant without my consent.

Hi Marc Dawson

From your description, your personal Microsoft account appears to have been added as a guest user in the “Mansoura University - Main” Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) tenant. In general, this type of association can only be removed in one of the following ways:

• Self-service:
  • Try leaving the organization via the My Account portal: Leave an organization - Microsoft Entra External ID | Microsoft Learn
  • Go to https://myaccount.microsoft.com > Organizations > Leave
• Tenant administrator action: If the Leave option is unavailable, it typically indicates that the tenant settings do not allow users to remove themselves. In this case, the tenant administrator must remove your account from their directory.

If you’re unable to contact the organization or the tenant appears inactive, as noted in this similar situation, backend changes require verification and are handled through official support channels (Cannot close account because of linked organizations - Microsoft Q&A). In this situation, please contact Microsoft support from your personal account and request removal from the tenant (Contact - Microsoft Support )

For additional context, a similar scenario has been discussed here: Personal MSA stuck as guest in former employer's Entra ID tenant — cannot leave; Conditional Access…

In that case, the issue also required either tenant administrator action or support assistance when self-service options were unavailable.

I hope this information helps, and if you have any further question, please feel free to ask via comment section.

Hi, thanks for looking to resolve this by way of the above. Unfortunately, I've tried the above steps without success. The MS OneCustomer Chat Support is ignoring my request for help. It simply does not respond to any input I put into it and keeps stating I'm next in line without any response. I also cannot access the page to leave an organisation as my account has no administration rights due to being a 365 personal premium account rather than a business account. I am flat out denied access to administer the account in this way. I have to say this is exceptionally frustrating that there is no escalation route that works for me to remove this unwanted, potentially harmful, intrusion. I cannot even find a way to complain to MS about this matter.

This has also happened to me. Is there a security issue with this university? How did you finally get the account removed?
