Hi Itish Agarwal I want to help you with this question.

You want to move one subscription to another tenant.

Thats possible!

You can do that like so:

1.) Go to the Subscription blade in the Azure Portal

2.) Search for the subscription(s) and select them

3.) In the subscription overview you can see the button "Change directory" (at to top), click on it

4.) In the settings menu on the right side search for the directory you want the subscription to move to.

5.) Check the checkbox that you agree that some resources are not transferred to the new tenant like RBAC role, policies, or managed identities.

The transfer takes some time.

I hope this will answer your question.

Hello as an addition ASR can solve your problem as well

Here's a concise guide on using Azure Site Recovery (ASR) to move an Azure App Service from one subscription to another across different tenants:

Steps to Move an App Service Using Azure Site Recovery (ASR)

Set Up ASR:

In the Azure portal, navigate to Site Recovery in both source and target subscriptions.

Ensure ASR is configured and registered in both subscriptions.

Prepare Source and Target:

Create a Recovery Services vault in the target subscription.

Ensure that the App Service Plan and related dependencies (e.g., databases, storage) are prepared in the target subscription.

Enable Replication:

Select your source App Service.

In the ASR settings, choose Replicate Application.

Configure the source and target settings, ensuring the target subscription's Recovery Services vault is selected.

Perform a Test Failover:

In ASR, perform a test failover to ensure that the App Service replicates correctly without affecting the live service.

Perform Failover and Commit:

Execute a planned failover in ASR.

Once confirmed, commit the failover to finalize the migration.
