We have an Azure account all users/developers access the Azure resources by the organization email id for example emailid#abc.com.
As the organization has grown it has split the business into 2 different organizations now and all the users/developers email id is changed to emailid#xyz.com.
What is the recommended solution to seamlessly replace emailid#abc.com to emailid#xyz.com so that users/developers can access azure resources with no issues. The users / Developer has also subscribed there email id for job success and failure alerts.
#abc.com is the primary domain in your Azure tenant. You can add your new custom domain name (#xyz.com) using the Azure Active Directory portal or O365 admin center.
Then set #xyz.com as the primary domain for all users. In this way, users can directly use the account with the new domain name to access Azure resources.

I created an Azure Devops organization using my hotmail account.
For this reason, I am the owner of this organization.
Then I wanted to bind this organization to an Azure Active Directory, so I went here and I attached my Azure AD
Then by mistake I added a new user to my Organization, however I chose a user belonging to another Azure AD so he is seen as an external user here.
Finally, I removed the hotmail user from the users page. As a result, the hotmail user is still the owner
, however he is not a member of the organization any more, so I can't enter any more:
Of course I may click "Request Access", however this request will be sent to the same hotmail account who is owner but is NOT a user... deadlock!
Can you help me please with an hint, I need to access my repos and Azure devops pipelines.
Thank you very much
I found it. This is the article which solved this problem.
Briefly, for organizations connected to Azure AD if the Owner and all other Project Collection Administrators are inactive in Azure AD, you can transfer ownership to another user.
I'm developing an application that requires us to use Microsoft Graph API to create Teams meetings for users. This is obviously only possible with tenant domain email accounts (not guests) as you cannot do it on behalf of the user. Is it possible that I can add a new domain/organization to it so any of the new domain email addresses can be used to create meetings (don't get added as guests)?
Yes, you can create a new domain but you can add user's from another tenant as guest only, It is by design.
I have two azure subscriptions, one personal, tied to my Microsoft ID, and another under a different Microsoft ID for a charitable organization where I am the one-man IT/web dev guy. I created the org's azure account/subscription myself. I can't figure out how to create websites, etc. under my personal MS ID login without logging in and out of the separate microsoft IDs to manage both sets of Azure resources.
Logging in with the org's MS ID, in the azure portal I've made my personal ID a subscription admin (Subscriptions>Access Control>Add my personal MS ID, then right clicked to make co-administrator. This is confirmed since now a right click shows "Remove co-admin" so that implies it's correctly set up as a subscription co-admin. That user is also in the Owner Role.
Step 2, in the Active Directory for the org subscription, Users and Groups>All Users>New User, added my personal MS ID. Then I select that user, click Directory Role on the left menu, and selected Global Administrator radio button and save.
So now my personal MS ID user is a subscription co-admin and a AD Global admin in the org's azure portal.
To check, if I then go to any resource group or App Service and look at Access control I see my personal MS ID user listed as an Owner for that resource and all other resources. So everything looks good.
So if I log out of the org ID and log in with my personal MS ID and go to the Azure portal, I see my usual personal Azure account resources. But I don't understand how to either see and manage those resources in the org's Azure subscription or how to switch subscriptions, or switch directories (it's not listed on the top right), and when creating a new resource, I have no option for the org's subscription to use. How do I see/manage those resources in the org's directory? Is this even possible? Or do I need to log out and log in with the org's MS ID, which is a major annoyance since it also logs me out of outlook etc. when I switch IDs.
Azure Subscriptions are "housed" within a specific Azure Active Directory Tenant. You should treat an AAD Tenant as the top level object structure, in that each Tenant is entirely separated from each other Tenant.
If you had multiple subscriptions within a single tenant, you would be able to sign in one time, and gain access to all those subscriptions.
However, since these subscriptions look like they are in different Tenants, there is no way to avoid logging in two times to access the two subscriptions. To expand on this, there would be no way to avoid logging in two times to access any unique objects across these two Tenants.
For me, the answer was
Access Azure portal login page
Click "Sign in as a different user"
type the exact same email address
select "School or Work account" option.
This one was tied to the Azure AD and they reset my password through there. Not sure it really helps you cos signing in and out all the time still a thing, but it took me far too long to get this right so thought i'd share.
I was added as a global administrator to a company's Azure AD directory. When I try to create a new web app I get the following message:
You are currently signed into the '-company- (Default Directory)' directory which does not have any subscriptions. You have other directories you can switch to or you can sign up for a new subscription.
When I try to sign up for a new subscription it wants me to enter my payment information, which I do not want to do. I want to use the company's existing subscription.
I also cannot see the App Service that the admin of the account just created in the portal.
It seems like I'm not fully configured, but we thought adding me as Global Administrator should give me exactly what he has, which is what we want. What else do we need to do so we have the same access, and can see each other's items?
In new Azure Portal, you should be added as a Co-Owner through the RBAC system. You should contact your Account Administrator(AA) who could grant the permission to your subscription. More information about how to add an admin for a subscription please refer to this article.
More information about RBAC please refer to this article.
You are the admin of the Azure AD directory, but not any subscriptions in that directory (assuming there are subscriptions). Directory admins don't have access to subscriptions by default. A subscription admin will need to grant you access to a subscription.
Note that directories can be created without subscriptions, so not every directory has an Azure subscription.
Also, a credit card is required to create a new subscription and you can't reference an existing company account without the company's Azure account admin doing that for you. Unfortunately, only one account can have access to do that today.
I have created a trial account for Microsoft Azure. In Azure Active Directory, I'm trying to create a new user, but I'm not seeing email address field. I see only username, firstname, lastname and display name fields. Will Azure treat username (like testuser#mydomain.onmicrosoft.com) as an email? or I'm I missing something? I didn't find much information in its documentation.
No, Azure AD will not assume that the username (known as "UserPrincipalName", in the Azure AD Graph API and Azure AD PowerShell module) is actually an email address that can receive emails.
If you would simply want a place to store a given user's email address (one that actually has a mailbox behind it), you can use the "Alternate Email Address" field in the Azure Portal (under "Profile" section for a given user in your directory):
(Note: This field is known as otherMails in Azure AD Graph API, AlternateEmailAddresses in Azure AD PowerShell v1 (MSOnline), and OtherMails in Azure AD PowerShell v2 (AzureAD). In all cases, it's an array of strings, not a single value.)
You can create more user-friendly usernames by adding and verifying a custom domain name to you Azure AD directory: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-add-domain. Once you've done this, you can create users that have usernames such as user#contoso.com (assuming contoso.com is the domain you added).
At this point, it may be that user#contoso.com is also the email address of that user, but again—there is no assumption in Azure AD that this is the case.
For anyone running into issues using with this with an Office 365 developer account, make sure you go through the entire registration process. I thought I had completely setup my office 365 dev account, but I had missed a part related to setting up email.
Also if you are using your personal Microsoft account, for testing etc., be aware that it may appear like some things work the same as the full version or Office 365 dev, but they don't.
