I'm trying to setup continuous deployment via the Aure Portal.
When doing this via the VSTS account (let's call it "VSTS Account A") which is owned by the same account owner as Azure, everything works fine.
In this case I'm trying to configure continuous deploymenet from source code held in another VSTS account (let's go with Account B).
The Azure account owner is not the Account B owner but is an admin (member of Organization Administrators) for Account B. The owner is also listed explicitly as a member of at least one project within Account B.
The problem is that when it commes to configuring "Deployment source" within the app service section, Account B is not listed as an option to choose from.
I've followed various links (e.g. part 4 of this page) about linking the VSTS account with an Azure account but still no joy. There are a couple of problems here:
The Azure classic portal has a New button within the Visual Studio Team Services section but when I choose Link To Existing, I get the following message:
Make sure you’re the account owner. If you are, maybe your account is linked to another Azure subscription or connected to another Azure Active Directory
Account B is not linked to another Azure Subscription or Azure AD.
The new portal doesn't even have an option to attempt to link a different account, plus the menu link says "Team Services Account Preview" so whether the Preview status has something to do with it, I don't know.
I'd have thought this would be a relatively common use case, has anyone had any joy setting up something similar?
