Grant Owner Access to All Subscriptions in Azure

To grant Owner access to all subscriptions within a directory in Azure, you can assign the Owner role at the directory (tenant) or subscription level, depending on your needs. Here are the steps to grant Owner access:

Option Steps
Option 1: Assign Owner at the Tenant (Directory) Level
  1. Sign in to the Azure portal with your account.

  3. In the left-hand menu, select Roles and administrators.

  6. In the Members section, select the user, group, or service principal to which you want to assign the Owner role.

  7. In the Select field, choose the user, group, or service principal that you want to assign the role to.
