Share access to your Azure Quantum workspace

  • Article

Learn how to share access to your Azure Quantum workspace. For example, you may need to grant your team members or students access to your workspace.

We recommend using the instructions in this article if you need to grant access to 10 or less users. For a larger number of users, it may be easier for you or your IT department to create a group of users and then grant it access to your workspace. For instructions, see Add a group to your Azure Quantum workspace.

Prerequisites

You need the following prerequisites to share access to your Azure Quantum workspace:

Azure Active Directory

Each user must have an account in your organization's Azure Active Directory before you can grant them access to your workspace. To add new users, you must be a User Administrator or Global Administrator. For instructions, see Add a new user.

Share access using a connection string

You can share the access to your Azure Quantum workspace using a connection string. The connection string contains the information needed to connect to your workspace, including the subscription ID, resource group, workspace name, and location.

Every Azure Quantum workspace has primary and secondary keys, and their corresponding connection strings. If you want to allow access to your workspace to others, you can share your secondary key and you use your primary for your own services. This way, you can replace the secondary key as needed without having downtime in your own services.
