I am new to Azure. I am getting myself confused very fast. My company has a project on Azure. We are looking to grant access to our external developers so they can log into our account and build a product for us ( setup a VM with mysql dbs and build an application ).
The only options I see are to invite users from another Active Directory or users who are in my own Active Directory? Is there no option to simply create a sign in credential for a user with say " email at gmail dot com" ?
What am I missing? I have created a Resource group but still can't invite anyone of our external consultants in there.
You can invite any user to manage your resources or your subscription.
There are 3 conditions for it:
You have the right to add it to your Azure AD
you are the owner of the subscription
The 'Guest user' already has an Azure account or a Microsoft Account
Then you have to go to:
Resources/Subscriptions
Access Control
Select a role (i.e. Contributor)
Type in the Account/Email of your external team member
check the checkbox and send the invitation
If you want to create generic users you can go straight forward to your AD and create a user i.e. developer1#contoso.onmicrosoft.com and add this user to the resource/subscription. Don't forget to take note of the credentials you created
So you would use Azure RBAC for that. Just click on the Resource Group > Access Control > Add.
You could also consult this blogpost for best practises.
If you just need them to develop and access SQL or a web App, you can pass the publish profile and SQL connection string to them.
Also, you can setup continous integration for the web App or virtual machine and pass git or GitHub or whatever source control you are using and pass the URL for the project, then they will commit the source code and fire a new build

I'm using Microsoft On Premise Azure Devops Server for first time, i have created a project and i need to add users to our team on project but i can't and below image show: No identities found.
Please i want to know which users can be added and how to add it.
Thanks.
You can add users who are a member of your Azure Active Directory in Project/Team directly , the members format will be user#<AzureADprimarydomain> (ex: user#test.onmicrosoft.com) like below:
But to add external users you will have to invite them to your organization first and then add them in the project/team. You can go to organization settings >> users >> add new users >> provide the email-id >> add which project the user will be part of and also select the permission level of the user >> add .

I am trying to create a new Blazor server app and configure it to use a new Azure Active Directory that I recently created. I have found a couple tutorials online showing how to do this, including one from Microsoft, but I keep encountering an error that says "The user account doesn't have the required permissions to access the domain."
I read online that I needed to verify that my user account is assigned to the Global Administrator role, which I did and it is. I have tried to create 3 different active directories in Azure to see if it was a fluke, but I have received the same error message each time.
Any help that you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
Make sure that you have signed in to Visual Studio with an admin account of the domain (here it should be "thomasagarza#yahoo.com").
After adding the account, you can apply filter for it (select the domain it is an member in). Make sure you have added it as the guest of that domain and assign Global Admin role to it.
Then all the related domains will be listed when you create a new project with Work or School Accounts Authentication. Select the domain which "thomasagarza#yahoo.com" is the admin in and click on OK. Generally you won't be required to enter your credential again in this step.
Please note if you have a custom domain for your AAD tenant and have made it primary, the domain listed here will be the custom domain name. In this case, if you manually set the domain as the format "***.onmicrosoft.com", you will get the error you are facing.
I am almost new to Azure. My client had created an Azure account and sent invitation to me. I had accepted her invitation to join her Azure portal. However when I log in with my username, it shows me "No subscription". My client is saying she has given me every access rights, but I am not able to do anything there. Even I am not sure if I have really joined her Azure portal.
Here is the image if when I tried to access Free Services.
For what i understand is that the current directory you are working in doesn't have the rights that you are expecting. And your client has added you to another subscription with all the required rights. All you need to do is switch your directory to the one which has the subscription provided by your client.
Just Click on your profile avatar(or name) on the top right of the portal.
Select the option Switch Directory form the pop-up.
And choose your concerned directory + Subscription.
Set Service Hooks in TFS and create Azure Storage
I can't finish after setting:
Access denied: [XXX]\Project Collection Service Accounts requires the following usage rights on the StrongBox to perform this action: Create StrongBox Drawer
Maybe I need to have permissions?
Any idea how to solve this?
You need Edit subscriptions and View subscriptions permissions to set up a subscription.
By default, only project administrators have these permissions. To grant them to other users directly, you could also use tfssecurity.exe from the command line. For example:
tfssecurity /a+ /collection:https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/DefaultCollection ServiceHooks PublisherSecurity/abcdef00-abcd-0000-0000-abcdef000000 ViewSubscriptions n:fabrikamfiber4#hotmail.com ALLOW
and
Copy
tfssecurity /a+ /collection:https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/DefaultCollection ServiceHooks PublisherSecurity/abcdef00-abcd-0000-0000-abcdef000000 EditSubscriptions n:fabrikamfiber4#hotmail.com ALLOW
The GUID is the ID of the project. You can get it using the Projects REST API.
After this you should be able to create the service hook and save it.
I'm just starting on this, been going through the Microsoft documentation and the lightbulb hasn't come on yet...
How do I add a user to my subscription so they can login? From there I just need to limit them to Azure Media Services.
I've seen instructions on web for clicking a "Users" button from subscription, but I do not see that. I've tried adding a user through the Azure Active Directory as well with no luck...
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

OK, so I figured this out:
1) Add your user to Active Directory (I added guest user)
2) Go to subscriptions and to your IAM panel
3) Ensure that your new user has access to at least Read the subscription.
(When I did this it allowed me to view my Azure resources as other user)
4) From there I created a role in a JSON file and used New-AzureRmRoleDefinition -InputFile to import it. IMPORTANT: Make sure for permissions you have Microsoft.Media/* and Microsoft.Media/mediaservices/*
5) Once I did this I went to my Media Services IAM panel and added the user to my new Azure Media Services role.
6) Presto! It started working.
Thanks to all who responded to this thread!!!

This is exactly what you need. Create a user in Azure Active Directory (at portal.azure.com) and grant them access to your subscription with the custom role to allow only Azure Media Services (I don't think there's a built-in role for that). To do that, follow the links (to create custom role, to create user and to assign user that role). I don't think you can create custom role using portal, so you will need REST API or powershell\CLI\SDK
