--- title: Get subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal description: Learn how to locate and copy the IDs of Azure tenants and subscriptions. ms.date: 01/21/2026 ms.topic: how-to ms.custom: sfi-image-nochange # Customer intent: "As an Azure user, I want to locate and copy my subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal, so that I can use these values when performing management tasks." --- # Get subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal A tenant is a [Microsoft Entra ID](/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-whatis) entity that typically encompasses an organization. Tenants can have one or more subscriptions, which are agreements with Microsoft to use cloud services, including Azure. Every Azure resource is associated with a subscription. Each subscription has an ID associated with it, as does the tenant to which a subscription belongs. As you perform different tasks, you might need the ID for a subscription or tenant. You can find these values in the Azure portal. ## Find your Azure subscription Follow these steps to retrieve the ID for a subscription in the Azure portal. 1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). 1. Under the Azure services heading, select **Subscriptions**. If you don't see **Subscriptions** here, use the search box to find it. 1. Find the subscription in the list, and note the **Subscription ID** shown in the second column. If no subscriptions appear, or you don't see the right one, you might need to [switch directories](set-preferences.md#switch-and-manage-directories) to show the subscriptions from a different Microsoft Entra tenant. 1. To easily copy the **Subscription ID**, select the subscription name to display more details. Select the **Copy to clipboard** icon next to the **Subscription ID** in the **Essentials** section. You can paste this value into a text document or other location. :::image type="content" source="media/get-subscription-tenant-id/copy-subscription-id.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing the option to copy a subscription ID in the Azure portal."::: > [!TIP] > You can also list your subscriptions and view their IDs programmatically by using [Get-AzSubscription](/powershell/module/az.accounts/get-azsubscription) (Azure PowerShell) or [az account list](/cli/azure/account#az-account-list) (Azure CLI). <a name='find-your-azure-ad-tenant'></a> ## Find your Microsoft Entra tenant Follow these steps to get the ID for a Microsoft Entra tenant in the Azure portal. 1.
