How to set the default subscription in the Windows Azure Portal?

gmetzker picture gmetzker · Dec 23, 2013 · Viewed 14.1k times · Source

When I log into the Windows Azure Portal it sets my default subscription to a friend's account that I no longer have access to. I would like to set the account to my account as the default.

If I click on the Subscriptions icon it has a list "Filter By Directory", it lists all my subscriptions. The one I no longer have access to is listed as the "Default Directory". How do I change this.

When I log in the URL directs me to something like: https://manage.windowsazure.com/@[SomeAccount]hotmail.onmicrosoft.com

where [SomeAccount] is the name of the subscription I no longer want. Any idea why this is showing up as the default when I login? Is there a way to get rid of this, or set my own subscription as the default when I login.

The dropdown shows all directories which list you as an administrator and I believe they are simply listed alphabetically.

I don't think you can permanently filter the dropdown list and so you have two options -

  1. Make sure you are no-longer an administrator of any subscription you don't intend to use
  2. Bookmark a link that goes directly to the directory you wish to use. this will be windowsazure.com/@
