Allowing another user to start/stop/configure Azure VM

Question

I have an VM in Azure, and I'd like a colleague to manage it as well.

I've added him as

1. a Global Administrator in Azure Active Directory.

2. Coadministrator for my account

However, the VM does not show up when he logs in?

Answer 1

You setup the user as an admin on the WAAD directory, but that doesn't have any relation to your subscription or VMs. Instead you should add that user as a co-admin to your Subscription via the management portal using the Settings option in the left-hand navigation pane.
