How to Remove Yourself from an Azure Subscription or Azure Active Directory Tenant

Remove Yourself from an Azure Subscription

It is not possible to remove yourself from a Subscription. You have to contact the Subscription owner to remove you. IMO a user should be able to remove themselves from a Subscription, so I’m following up with the Azure team on this.

Here’s what Azure support told me:

I understand that you are wanting to remove your self from several subscriptions without contacting the subscription owner. I apologize but by design the best way to accomplish this is through the subscription owner. They are the one that is able to grant and remove permissions for account administrators etc.

Remove Yourself from an Azure Active Directory Tenant

Here’s how to remove yourself from an Azure Active Directory Tenant:

You can see below that I’m part of the Microsoft directory and Jon Gallant Test. I want to remove myself from the latter.

  1. Go to https://myapps.microsoft.com
  2. Click on your name in upper right. Click on the gears icon.
  3. At the bottom of the page you will see “Organizations” list. Click the “Sign in to leave Organization” link.
  4. That will redirect you to the following page:
  5. Click the browser’s back button.
  6. The link you click on before now says “Leave organization”. Click it.
  7. Click “Leave” button


    The page will refresh and you will now be removed from that Active Directory.
  8. Confirm removal
    You can go back to the portal and confirm that you were removed.
