How do I add users to share my subscription with?

Question

I'm new to Azure and signed up to a free account yesterday.

I work for a small business and would like to setup access to my Azure subscription for other members of my team.

How do I do this?

Hi @Jeetender Pabla | Just,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

You can grant access to your Azure subscription by assigning roles to your team members using Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Add Users to Your Azure Directory

Before assigning roles, ensure your team members have accounts in your Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID):

1. Go to the Microsoft Entra ID section in the Azure Portal.
2. Navigate to Users > + New user.
3. Choose Invite user to send an invitation if they are external to your organization.
4. Enter their email address and assign appropriate settings.
5. Click Invite and ask them to accept the invitation.

Step 2: Assign Roles to Users in Your Subscription

1. Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to Subscriptions.
2. Select your subscription (e.g., Free Trial).
3. Click on Access Control (IAM).
4. Click + Add > Add role assignment.
5. Choose a role based on the access level you want:
   • Owner – Full access, including billing and role assignments.
     • Contributor – Can manage resources but not assign roles.
       • Reader – Can view resources but not make changes.
       1. Under Select members, find the user you added.
       2. Click Review + assign to confirm.

Step 3: Notify Your Team

After assigning roles, inform your team members to sign in at Azure Portal using their Microsoft account.
