How to set up direct sharing for Azure Compute Gallery? Currently it is grayed out and it says
Message: Subscription '(removed)' is not registered with the feature Microsoft.Compute/SIGSharing. Please register the subscription before retrying the call.
I submitted a request and it is showing
az feature show --namespace "Microsoft.Compute" --name "SIGSharing" --query "properties.state"
I also submitted a request here https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR_mNBWuIdjREixU93yX0U7tUMjRSNVRJT05VSlkyUzUyRTFBOTc5R0E1My4u&route=shorturl
but nothing happened.
Please help. I need to enable access to Image Versions from one subscription to the users in another.

The reason you’re seeing the Direct Sharing option grayed out is because your subscription (removed) isn’t yet registered for the required feature: Microsoft.Compute/SIGSharing. This feature is currently in public preview.
I see that you’ve already submitted the request via the form — that’s correct, After submitting, the registration usually takes time to go through it.
In the meantime, you can check the status by running this command:
az feature show --namespace "Microsoft.Compute" --name "SIGSharing" --query "properties.state"Once it shows "Registered", go ahead and refresh the provider registration with this:
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ComputeThat should fully enable the Direct Sharing option for your subscription.
Please refer the document:

2025-04-11T08:49:44.6866667+00:00 Sure. Thank you. I already had these commands. But, how long will it be until it is Registered? I created a request for registration 2 days ago approximately...

2025-04-16T14:21:14.33+00:00 Hi. I don't have any tracking IDs. When I filled out the form I did not get it. My subscription ID is '(removed)'.
and that is it. I sent the request by submitting this form.

2025-05-08T17:18:39.73+00:00 @Mirko Krajcer Apologies for the delayed followup on this. They currently are not onboarding new customers to this preview feature at this time. By limiting private previews, Azure ensures that new features are thoroughly tested and refined before they are made available to all customers. This approach helps maintain the quality and reliability of Azure services. Preview features are not generally recommended for production environments.
