Adding contributor Azure subscription in PowerShell

Question

My Azure account having one subscription is added as a contributor to another Azure account. Using Login-AzureRmAccount in PowerShell, I login to my account and Get-AzureSubscription returns only my own subscription. On the Azure portal, I can switch between these two subscriptions and create/remove resources on the other subscription.

I have checked Select-AzureSubscription, and it can be used in case Get-AzureSubscription returns multiple accounts to choose among them.

I also do not have the credentials of the other account to login manually.

Is there any way to access my contributor-role subscription in PowerShell and run Azure scripts on it?

Answer 1

"Contributor" is an RBAC (Role based access control) role, so you have access to the subscription throught Azure Resource Manager. To find this subscription in PowerShell, you can use the Get-AzureRmSubscription cmdlet instead of Get-AzureSubscription. Then you can use the cmdlet Select-AzureRmSubscription to select the subscription instead of Select-AzureSubscription.
