Thank you for your post!

Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Are you able to log into the Azure Portal, you're just not able to access/view Azure Active Directory?

Did you create or do you own this tenant? Or were you invited to it?

Any additional information or screenshots would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

This is way too late to be useful for you, but hopefully will help someone else in the future.

When you create an Azure for Students subscription, the subscription is created in your school tenant. You can verify this in the Overview of your subscription. This page identifies the directory your subscription is liked with and it will be something like yourschool.onmicrosoft.com. Your school doesn't give you admin permissions for Azure AD/Entra ID, thus the 403 error.

If you want to share access to your subscription, you can do that with anyone in the school tenant. If you review the role assignments in your subscription, you'll see that some school staff have permissions to your subscription.

If you want to play with managing Azure AD/Entra ID, then you'll need to create a tenant of your own. That's not part of Azure for Students. However, there are lots of trial options available.

For me the problem was that I registered my student subscription into my formal university account on Microsoft, instead of my personal account. This led to conflicts as I was working in the faculty directory or workspace, which I had no permissions in.

The solution was to sign out of Azure, sign in with my personal account, and walk through the student subscription again.

Try this, it could be your situation.

Hi,

The error is because you don't have a tenant associated with your account.

To create a tenant you can follow below instructions:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/quickstart-create-new-tenant

If you already have a Azure AD tenant you need to associate (invite) your account with that tenant.

Hope this helps!
