Unable to see the applications with my user account as the owner inside the Azure Portal GUI

Question

I am unable to see the applications with my user account as the owner inside the Azure Portal GUI:

Owned Applications - App registrations https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_RegisteredApps/ApplicationsListBlade

How can I ensure that I can see the application registration for which I am the owner in the Azure Portal GUI?

The methods I have used to add my user accounts in bulk is using the below PowerShell command:

• New-MgApplicationOwnerByRef https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.applications/new-mgapplicationownerbyref?view=graph-powershell-1.0
• New-MgServicePrincipalOwnerByRef https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.graph.applications/new-mgserviceprincipalownerbyref?view=graph-powershell-1.0

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @EnterpriseArchitect , if you are the owner of an application registration in Azure AD, you should be able to see it in the Azure Portal GUI. However, if you are unable to see the application registration, there could be a few reasons for this.

Make sure that you are logged in to the Azure Portal with the correct account that has the necessary permissions to view the application registration. You should be logged in with the same account that you used to create the application registration or with an account that has been granted the necessary permissions to view it.

Check if the application registration is in the correct directory. If you have multiple directories in your Azure AD tenant, make sure that you are in the correct directory where the application registration was created.

If you have confirmed that you are logged in with the correct account and in the correct directory, but still cannot see the application registration, you can try the following steps:

1. Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to the "Azure Active Directory" blade.
2. Click on "App registrations" and search for the application registration that you are the owner of.
3. Click on the application registration to open its details page.
4. Click on the "Owners" tab and make sure that your account is listed as an owner.
5. If your account is not listed as an owner, you can add it by clicking on the "Add owner" button and selecting your account from the list.
6. Once you have added your account as an owner, refresh the page and check if you can see the application registration.

If you are still unable to see the application registration, try logging out of the Azure Portal and logging back in again. If this still doesn't work please let me know.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.
