List of ALL the subscriptions associated to my User Login.
Currently the portal shows in the "Subscriptions" section only the subscription associated to the Directory (AAD) that is selected by default. I have several subscriptions associated to several directories.
248 votesAAD currently requires a strict directory scoping. We can investigate options if this is a popular request.

Merge Resource Groups
As an azure user I would like the ability to select two or more resource groups in the portal and select merge which would result in all the groups being consolidated into one. One of the selected resource groups would be selected as the "target" group and all other groups would be removed.
This would be a faster version of the delete and consolidate option I've also posted.

Allow pinned tile configuration to include label customization
Customization options for pinned tiles are limited to size. In order to help create a more task-drive friendly environment, allowing renaming of tiles would be very helpful. For instance rather that have 4 tiles say "Site Settings" for my sites, allow me to label them so I can distinguish them.

Where is contextual help?

Reduce the browser memory footprint, and elimnate the memory leaks.
There seem to be some rather significant memory leaks in the Portal Dashboard. I've made the mistake of leaving it running overnight a few times, and the browser process working memory use, with the portal being the only browser tab open is often in excess of 1.5 GB. This is with no tiles open. In a few cases, I could not unlock the computer and had to reach across the network to kill the iexplore.exe process before I could gain local access.

Support setting default Dashboard and sorting of the dashboards
Allow people to set the default Azure Portal dashboard and also provide sorting within the dashboard dropdown.

Filter Item Wildcards For Easier Search Capabilities
When looking at a long list of several resources (all resources or items within a resource group) with long naming conventions there is no easy way to search/filter what you are looking for without spelling out the beginning of the resource.
It would be convenient to type: %item%prod% to be able to gather all resources containing that specific "item" and in "prod".

Add more information to the tiles
There's a lot of wasted space inside the tiles.
For example, in a virtual machine tile, you could add the current public and local IP and the status (executing/stopped).30 votesThanks for the feedback. We are constantly working will all the partner teams to build tiles that expose the right information and actions. We will take this feedback into consideration.

Restrict access to Portal by IP address
I have heard that many customers want to configure so that administrators can access to Azure management portal from defined IP address ranges.
I saw the following feedback, but it's actually ip address restriction for "MFA".

I want simple restriction capability for management portal access by IP address.24 votesThanks for the idea

Option to have Portal Notifications as Destop Notifications
Option to have Notifications, like a successful deploy or failed deploy, as a desktop notification.
This would allow you to leave the portal and do other tasks while waiting for e.g. a large deploy. When the deployment is done you will see the notification on the desktop, while having the portal web page open in the background.

Make Tags Searchable in portal
Allow tags to be searchable in the portal just like you are able to for any other resource. Right now the only option to see what resources have tag is via the Tags blade. Being able to search would be very helpful.

Custom info in Help
We are a large enterprise customer utilizing Azure and have some internal teams to help manage Azure as well as support agreements with Microsoft for support (including Azure and Azure development).
It would be a neat feature in the portal, in the Help area, to be able to customize some text for our own help. For example, I could see us customizing contact info for the EA admin(s), contact info for internal and external (MS) support, links to corporate SharePoint sites with Azure info and other project pages specific, governance/usage info, and billing info. I could see this information set…

Create tree view in Portal for subscriptions, resource groups and resources
I'd like an easy way to quickly explore my deployed Azure services using a tree view like the left hand pane in Windows Explorer.
I would expect the tree view to start at my current top level. By which I mean if I can see multiple subs then that would be the first layer of the tree, then resource groups, then resources.
Clicking a resource will open the blade for that resource.14 votesGreat idea. We can definitely do this.

Tile background color
It would be useful if we could assign a background color to tiles. This could be used in visualizing/categorizing services, customers or various deployment stages. Imagination really.
See attached screenshot.

Azure Portal ARM Templates (Preview)
Direct GitHub access from within Azure Portal for downloading/uploading or synchronizing ARM templates between Azure Portal and GitHub.
10 votesYou can import quickstart templates by going to New, search for “template deployment”, edit the template, and import a quickstart template from there.
We can add the ability to upload to GitHub, if that’s valuable to a lot of people.

UI for Resource Policy Management and Policy Aware for resource creation in portal
Azure Resource Policy is a great feature for enterprise customers to enforce their resources in a compliant state. However, there is no user interface to view policy definitions and assignments in a given scope. Also, the UI don't respect policy at all but only give an error after the deployment is submitted.

Allow scrolling the multiple blades that are open using the mouse scroll wheel.
When there is multiple blades/panes open and the horizontal scroll bar shows up, it woule be good if we can scroll from left to right using the vertical mouse scroll wheel.
If the blade/pane under the cursor has content that needs to be vertically scrolled, vertical scroll has the priority, once it reaches the limit, then scroll horizontally depending on the direction.

Limit what's visible in the portal based on RM policies
Currently, the Azure portal shows all available resources and all available regions. It would be great if we can curate what's visible in the portal based ARM policies. For instance, if I have a policy that limits what regions I can provision my resources into, the portal should only show the allowable resources. Currently, the user won't know there's a restriction until they try to provision something outside of an allowable region. This causes user frustration, confusion, and most importantly, time.
Other use cases:
If I restrict access to only compute, networking, and storage service providers, those should be the…8 votesWe can do this, if it gets to the top of the list
