Adding guest users to AAD and a subscription within the tenant at the same time

Hi,

I'm adding a bunch of guest users to our Azure AD. The point is that they will be able to create resources. When I add them to the AD, they get in the workspace, however, they are unable to do anything inside because:

"You do not have access to any subscriptions in the << redacted >> directory".

So as a global admin, I go to our subscription and add each and every user to it.

The problem is that this is a very slow and clunky process adding everyone one by one. Is there a way that users are added to the tenant's subscription directly as they are added in the AAD?

Many thanks,

    Hello,

    You should investigate the dynamic group, the idea is to give this group some permissions on your subscription like that when a user is added as guest they will have access to your subscription.
    The only issue with this solution is that all guests will have access to your subscription.

    Hello,

    The bulk invite is not included with dynamic group, however you can bulk invite on the users blade in AAD

    Regards,

    Created one. Thank you for the guidance.

    However, the bulk invite option is not available. Is this a problem on my end or is this feature not included in dynamic groups?
