Azure RGs, Subscriptions and Tenants can get confusing; This Q&A my son Ryan and I asked ChaGPT.org, during our AZ-104 training, should help..
Can an Azure Subscription be accessible by multiple tenants? And why?
In Azure, can there be multiple subscriptions in a tenant? Can users access multiple subscriptions? How?
Can an Azure Subscription be accessible by multiple tenants? And why?
No, an Azure subscription cannot be accessed by multiple tenants. A tenant represents a single organization or company that has its own set of users, resources, and identities. Azure subscriptions are tied to specific tenants, which means that only users within that tenant can access the resources and services within the subscription. Multiple tenants cannot access the same subscription because they have their own distinct sets of users, policies, and access controls.
In Azure, can there be multiple subscriptions in a tenant? Can users access multiple subscriptions? How?
Yes, it is possible to have multiple subscriptions in a single Azure tenant. Users can access multiple subscriptions by either being assigned the appropriate roles for each subscription, or by using the Azure Portal or Azure CLI to switch between subscriptions. To switch subscriptions in the Azure Portal, users can click on their account name in the upper right-hand corner and select the desired subscription from the drop-down menu. In the Azure CLI, users can use the az account set command to switch to a different subscription.
In Azure, can you move a resource group to another subscription, and why?
Yes, it is possible to move a resource group to another subscription in Azure. This can be done for various reasons, such as:
Consolidation of resources: If different departments or teams within an organization have their own subscriptions and resource groups, it may be beneficial to consolidate them into a single subscription for better management and cost optimization.
Cross-organizational resource sharing: If two organizations need to share resources, one way to accomplish this is by moving the resource group to the other organization’s subscription.
Compliance needs: Some regulatory requirements may require resources to be located in a specific subscription or geographic region. In such cases, moving a resource group may be necessary to ensure compliance.
To move a resource group to another subscription, the user needs to have the appropriate permissions and follow the steps outlined in the Azure portal or Azure PowerShell. It is important to note that not all resources can be moved, and there may be certain limitations or restrictions depending on the type of resource being moved.
