Setting-the-azure-subscription-for-an-azure-cli-session.md

Listing subscriptions

For an account, you can list the available subscriptions using the command below:

az account subscription list --output table

It should output something like:

AuthorizationSource    DisplayName                          State    SubscriptionId
---------------------  -----------------------------------  -------  ------------------------------------
RoleBased              Work Subscription                    Enabled  84ddb3d8-dujc-4fac-293s-cd80c0544223
Legacy                 My Azure for Students                Enabled  234562c0-93jd-4231-ldww-efc461364a40

Setting a subscription

You can then set a subscription using the command below:

az account set --subscription 234562c0-93jd-4231-ldww-efc461364a40

The above command sets the current subscription as "My Azure for Students"
