Hi Syed Wasim Ali,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q and A forum.

Yes, more than one Azure account can be linked to the same subscription. This is because an Azure subscription is associated with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant, and an Azure AD tenant can have multiple Azure accounts.

To link multiple Azure accounts to the same subscription, you need to add the accounts to the Azure AD tenant that is associated with the subscription. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal with the Global Administrator account for the Azure AD tenant.
2. Click Azure Active Directory.
3. Click Users.
4. Click New user.
5. Enter the information for the Azure account that you want to add.
6. Click Create.

After adding the Azure account to the Azure AD tenant, it will have the ability to access the resources within the subscription.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further queries.
