How do you change the owner of an Azure AD directory? I have two accounts and see the tenant/directory I want listed as a directory. I want to transfer the ownership to the other account.
UPDATE
Ok. More information. I had one subscription and created 3 B2C directories. Each time I linked to the subscription, which is part of the process. Apparently you cannot have more than 1 B2C tenant linked to a subscription, so the other two were left "stranded" outside of a subscription. So I had to create a new subscription and associate the B2C directory with it, so it was a resource of the subscription. Then I used IAM to add the 2nd Azure account as a co-administrator of the subscription. I transferred the subscription to the 2nd Azure account.
The biggest authority in Azure AD is Global administrator. If you want to transfer ownership to another user, you only need to give that user Global administrator.

I have an Orphaned AD user (Deleted the DC in 2018), however the user is active in AAD, I need to move this user to another DC, If I remove the user from the OnPrem AD, will it remove it from AAD? AAD last sync was in 2018, however the user is active and has been logging on regularly.
Another question, can I create a new user in the OnPrem AD, and then link the AAD with this new user?
User impact must be 0.
Thanks!
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got below results:
I created one test user "Sarita" in my on-prem AD and ran the AD Sync Cycle using command like below:
Start-ADSyncSyncCycle –PolicyType Delta
Response:
After running the above command, Sarita is synced to Azure Active Directory successfully as below:
Now I deleted the Sarita from my On-premises AD and ran the Sync Cycle again as below:
After the Sync cycle, Sarita from Azure Active Directory got deleted automatically like below:
I tried to login with the same account now and it shows error like below:
Can I create a new user in the OnPrem AD, and then link the AAD with this new user?
No, we cannot create new user in the OnPrem AD and link to Azure Active Directory with this new user.
Please note that, whenever new user is created in the OnPrem AD, an SID value is created for that user.
If you create new user now, SID values will be different, and we cannot link it to AAD as it will be created with different attributes.
I'm testing my SCIM integration with Azure AD. I created an app in Azure active directory, provisioning credentials are OK, but Add user option is not active (faded out).
When I create Databricks scim intergration, it's ok and it works. Any ideas?
This could be due lack of permissions or appropiate role being assigned. Ensure you're assigned one (Tenant or application scoped) or be added as owner of the application.
I am using Redgate Data Platform Studio to transfer data from on-premise SQL Server to Azure-hosted SQL Server. This web-based application has the ability to use an Azure Storage account (for data transfer purpose) simply by logging into my company's ADFS. The web application can successfully see storage accounts inside a subscription (let's call it Subscription A) owned by my ADFS user, when I log in to my company's active directory (via ADFS). Let's call my company's AD Directory A.
I also have subscription B owned by a Microsoft account NOT related to my company's Active Directory. This subscription B is managed by another Azure AD Tenant B, with that Microsoft account as the Service Administrator & Owner. To link the two directories, I used B2B State 3 configuration described here. So in Directory B, my Directory A user shows up as Guest User with the Source=External Azure Active Directory.
For the storage accounts in Directory B, I grant the built-in role "Storage Blob Data Contributor" and "Storage Account Contributor" to the Guest User (source=external AAD Directory A). Therefore, in both Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer as well as in portal.azure.com I can see storage accounts inside Subscription B.
BUT if I log in to the Redgate application using Directory A credential (via my company's ADFS), only storage account inside Subscription A shows up in the Redgate application. I already tried giving the guest user in Directory B the following roles to the user, even at the highest Subscription B level, but no luck:
As Co-Administrator
As Contributor
As Storage Account Contributor
As Storage Blob Data Owner
My question: is this the application's limitation of not being able to access subscription in another directory (B), or is there some configuration either in directory A/B and/or subscription A/B that I need to set?
Is this the application's limitation of not being able to access subscription in another directory?
As per my official document and my understanding you cannot assign your subscription among many directory.
As said on official document "Multiple subscriptions can trust the
same Azure AD directory, but each subscription can only trust a single directory".
See the below screen shot and refer here
Note: When you associate a subscription to a different directory, users that have roles assigned using role-based access control (RBAC)
will lose their access. Classic subscription administrators
(Service Administrator and Co-Administrators) will also lose
access. Please check the Important Note here

I used Graph explorer->Logged in with Global administrator -> Modify Permissions-> chose User.ReadWriteAll,Group.ReadWriteAll,Directory.AccessAsUser.All and then select "access to your entire organization" and logged in again with global administrator
I get below error.
Selected user account does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft' and cannot
access the application 'de8bc8b5-d9f9-48b1-a8ad-b748da725064' in that
tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the
tenant first. Please use a different account.
How can I add permissions to global administrator user?
Since your account is a guest in the tenant, you could not use the account to query the tenant, even if you are a global admin.
For more details, refer to this post.
Credentials are only owned by a single tenant. The tenant is discovered by Graph Explorer based on domain. You cannot use Graph Explorer to query tenants your account is a guest on, it can only query the tenant that owns the account. The only way to use those creds with another tenant would be to force the OAuth uri to use that tenants ID instead of "common". This isn't supported by Explorer. You'd have to download the source an reengineer the auth process
I am using differential query (AzureAD graph API) to detect changes in Azure AD from the last sync. I am getting all users, group memberships, manager changes. Only missing information is Directory Role assignment (e.g Billing administrator, SharePoint administrator etc).
How can I detect a change in roles of any user?
API - https://graph.windows.net/{org}/directoryObjects?api-version=1.5&deltaLink=xxxxxttttxxxxxxxx
First, if you have enabled those Directory Roles, you can use AAD Graph API operations on directory roles to list members of those roles.
GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/directoryRoles/{object_id}/$links/members?api-version=1.6
But, This API can also list service principals which assigned this role.
