Tenanted passthrough is going to be disabled for Azure PowerShell

To enhance security, Azure PowerShell is going to block users from other organizations or personal Microsoft accounts (consumers) from signing in with Azure PowerShell to tenants where they aren't invited as guests.

Note

This change affects all Azure PowerShell versions.

If you attempt to sign in to a tenant where you aren't invited as a guest, you see the following error message in your web browser:

Selected user account does not exist in tenant '$YourTenantName' and cannot access the application '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000(Microsoft Azure PowerShell)' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first. Please use a different account.

To sign in to a tenant, ensure the user is either:

  • A member of the tenant
  • A guest invited to the tenant

Check whether you are the member of a tenant

If your username is someone@example.com and the tenant ID is $tenantId, run the following commands:

Connect-AzAccount -AccountId someone@example.com
Get-AzTenant

When you retrieve the list of tenants, determine if $tenantId is included. If not, or if the list is empty, contact the tenant administrator to request an invitation.

Invite a guest member

As a tenant member, you can invite a guest user to your tenant. The guest user receives an email invitation to join the tenant. Once the invitation is accepted, they're added as a guest user and gain access to the tenant's resources.
