Microsoft Portals
A selection of Microsoft administration portals, organized by task. This is not an exhaustive directory.
About the Microsoft portals directory
Microsoft's administration surface is spread across a large number of separate portals, each with its own address and its own scope. This directory gathers them in one searchable place.
What's in this selection
- Azure portal — subscriptions, resources, and infrastructure.
- Microsoft Entra admin centre — identity, groups, conditional access, and application registrations.
- Microsoft 365 admin centre — tenant, licences, users, and the message centre.
- Microsoft Purview — data governance, compliance, and information protection.
- Microsoft Defender - security operations, incidents, investigation and response.
- Microsoft Intune - device enrollment, endpoint configuration and application management.
The Entra and Defender destinations are documented in Microsoft Entra documentation and Microsoft Defender documentation. Documentation evidence confirms their purpose and address, not access to your tenant. Sign-in, licensing and appropriate roles may be required.
Good to know
Portals are consolidated and renamed regularly — several identity and security consoles have moved in recent years — and old addresses usually redirect rather than disappear. Because permissions are granted per service and not per portal, being able to open a console says nothing about what you can change inside it; that still depends on your role assignments.
