How do I resolve the homeTenantId to a tenant display name?

Question

How do I resolve the homeTenantId to a tenant display name?

Ivo Palli 20

I'm new to Azure, so it might be a stupid question, but here goes.

My company uses Lighthouse to manage multiple customers. I'm trying to get information from Azure via the CLI az. In my web GUI I can 'Switch Directory' and get 2 directories. I also get a dropdown box with managed customers (with IDs) for the chosen directory and under that a dropdown with their subscriptions.

I can use

az rest --method GET --uri https://management.azure.com/tenants?api-version=2020-01-01

to get a list of the two directories

I can use

az account list

to get a list of all the subscriptions of both directories.

In that last data is a field called 'homeTenantId' that has the ID of the customer.

How do I get a list of all customers display names and their ID? (which I can see on the web GUI)

Please follow below steps.

Step 1: Log in with a specific tenant ID

az login --tenant <your-tenant-id>

Step 2: Set the subscription (after login)

az account list --output table

List available subscriptions:

az account list --output table

Then set the one you want:

az account set --subscription "<subscription-name-or-id>"

Turns out it's currently not possible from the CLI. Ashok and a collegue of him very kindly helped me look into it and we came to that conclusion. They're going to feature request for the homeTenantName to be added to the 'az account list' command output, so maybe in the future.
