Add a new user to my Azure Subscription

I wanted to add a new user to my subscription and I wanted to make that person an Owner.  This is how I did it.

  • Create the account
  • Grant the account access to the subscription

Create the account

I logged into the Azure management portal and navigated to Azure Active Directory and clicked ‘Add a user’ as shown in Figure 1.

Grant the account access to the subscription

Navigate to Subscriptions and click the subscription where you want to add the profile to created in the last section.  Click Access control (IAM), the +Add, select the Role, in this case Owner and then the profile.  See Figure 3.

Now the individual you provide the User Name and password, set in Figure 2, can access the portal using those credentials.
