I have been assigned a MSDN azure subscription to my company Microsoft Account (100$ pr month). I am owner/admin on the MSDN subscription.
The subscription has been created with my companys primary tenant/directory assigned to the subscription.
I would like to create a new tenant/directory - and change my MSDN subscription to use that directory - to completely isolate the MSDN sandbox subscription from the production directory.
problem is that my company user does not have permission to show the AAD portal in the browser, where the link to create a new tenant is present. So I dont seem to be able to create a new directory for the MSDN subscription, that I am owner of, since my user is also assigned my companys production AAD and therefore dont have access to view the Azure AD directory portal.
it seems that there a no powershell commands for creating a new directory (portal only) - any idea what to do to overcome this?
Hi
its likely that your Global Admin has these settings enabled to restrict you from creating new tenants even though you own the MSDN subscription:
They may need to create this on your behalf, or else give you the correct permissions to do this.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback, that confirms that even though my user is admin/owner on its own subscription - the user still belongs to a tenant where Tenant Creation has been disabled (it is), which means that as of now I cannot create a new Tenant/Directory.
