Find Microsoft Tenant ID - Here's how!
The Microsoft Tenant ID is something like the digital address of your organisation in Microsoft services. It ensures that your company is clearly recognised in Azure, Microsoft 365 and other cloud services. Why is this important? It's simple: you can use it to control who can access which resources and how billing works. Every organisation in the Microsoft cloud has its own unique tenant ID. This comes into play when it comes to securely authenticating and authorising services and users.

Then navigate to "Session details" via the cogwheel in the top right-hand corner.

Variant 3: Find tenant ID via "What is my tenant ID?"
Probably the easiest way to find out the tenant ID externally without logging in is to use this tool:
