Good afternoon:

Any time I try to go to security.microsoft.com or compliance.microsoft.com and log in, I'm greeted with a "Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application" error. The same account credentials log me into portal.azure.com and office.com just fine.

    hello,

    i have the same issue:

    "Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft' and cannot access the application '1f32efd1-9f07-4ad5-afe7-1e19efc74cbf' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account."

    i would like to access the id@alfonso1999 developer program page. until yesterday it worked. then suddenly not working. i didn't change anything.

    who can fix this?

    I am having the same issue when trying to use power automate to set up a flow using MS forms, and I need to sign in. I sign in to the same account I have used for MS account which I used to setup power automate as well. I don't know what I would have this issue. How do I solve this?

    @B B Thanks for reaching out. We would need the account information to investigate further.
    Is that an external account or a Microsoft account (live.com, hotmail.com) as sometimes the same email ID for MS account and work account may cause this type of issues ?

    Hi @VipulSparsh-MSFT @JamesTran-MSFT ,

    Hope all is well! I have similar issue with sign in to Azure portal and not sure where else I could turn to at the moment so any advise is appreciated.

    I'm receiving billing charge (Invoice number: G013676492) from Azure, not a big amount but since I'm not using Azure products at all I want to see for more detail. I'm not able to sign in due to the following message:

    Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application 'c44b4083-3bb0-49c1-b47d-974e53cbdf3c' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

    I don't have any organization account, just my personal one. Tried calling support team for assistance but no use. Please please help.

    Thanks in advance! Please let me know if there's anything I can do from my end.
