"Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application '18fbca16-2224-45f6-85b0-f7bf2b39b3f3' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account."

So, I invited an external user, gave external user the same access as members but when I log in as other user, it still displays the above error.

This question is related to the following Learning Module

Azure Training

    Hi,

    You should be able to work around the issue by first Activating the sandbox (solving puzzles, reviewing/accepting permissions, etc.) and then once you see the sign-in box appear on the right open a new browser tab. In this new tab, browse to https://shell.azure.com. If your existing sandbox hasn't expired you can use that instead of activating a new one.

    When prompted, click Bash

    Next choose No storage account required, for Subscription select Concierge Subscription, and click Apply.

    After several seconds delay while a cloud shell is requested and connected to, you should see $ prompt. At this point you can complete the exercises instructions, copy/paste code from exercise tab to cloud shell tab as needed, etc.

    NOTE: You need to complete tasks in Unit 3 Exercise - Create an Azure virtual machine and then Unit 9 Exercise - Configure network access tasks using same sandbox. Otherwise the Unit 9 exercise tasks will fail.

    Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.
