A text description on resources/things would be great for keeping track of what each resource/thing is.

Love the new UI. Would also love to use it in my own projects....

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.
225 votesAAD currently requires a strict directory scoping. We can investigate options if this is a popular request.

You can remove directories by contacting the organization that owns the directory and asking them to remove you.
We can add the ability to hide them, if this is a popular request.

One portal for all Microsoft products i.e (azure+office365+intune)
This might be additional feature in the marketplace to connect intune, office365 or any other Microsoft product.

Import Azure configurations into Visio
I would like a process to export all the azure configurations and import them into Visio to be able to build accurate architecture diagrams of the environment.
This would allow for a 'point in time' reference for what is the current state.
Expanding on this would be the ability to have templates of diagrams to represent different perspectives of the environment ( network / server details / etc. ).
Through the use of TAGS and Metadata, you could produce the layout of platforms / applications / business aligned systems / etc.Producing these artifacts and versioning over time will show…

Refresh button in each blade
Provide a refresh button/option in each blade.
Scenario i found this need: provisioning a SharePoint farm. In the process of Azure assets creation, when i look at the resource group blade, i need to hit F5 to see the process of different VMs, cloud services etc being created.Not high level priority but can be useful.

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.

Azure Designer tool
My Idea was to create a Azure Designer tool in the Azure portal which can enable Azure Engineers and Architects to design a Azure services as per customer requirements and convert them as a blue print or Archictect diagrams for customers or for implementations.

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.
70 votesThis would be awesome to have!

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.
37 votesWe’ll work on this
-
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.
26 votesWe’ll look into this

Refresh button for Azure dashboard
At present there is no way to refresh a table for eg. a table showing containers in a particular storage. I ran my script to add containers to a storage. Now I have to refresh the whole page to check is it was created or not. Same is the case with instances and most of the tables.
26 votesWill add this to the backlog

Where is contextual help?
Where is contextual help? In current version of Azure portal there is a very rich contextual help. Please do not remove it.
23 votesWe want to add this as well.

Make it more touch friendly
For instance, when I am on the Dev Console and I tap the onscreen keyboard, I can't see what I am typing. Similarly, when I want to select some text, it doesn't work with text. Dragging tiles is also a problem.

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".
http://feedback.azure.com/forums/223579-azure-preview-portal/suggestions/2297513-restrict-access-to-portal-by-ip-or-rsa-securid
I want simple restriction capability for management portal access by IP address.15 votesThanks for the idea

Resource Group Template parameter validation
With so many different naming limitations between different object types, we need a way to validate parameters before submitting for deployment. An added bonus would be to allow us our own custom validation operations. Please note I am referring to parameter fields in the portal; not variables.

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…

Show progress on long running tasks
In the new preview portal whan a long operartion is ongoing (like the SharePoint famr creation) there should be more verbose Information in the Notification area so the user knows on what stage the deployment is happening
14 votesWe show in progress tasks, but we definitely want to add more details to those. Let us know what kind of details you’d like to see (e.g. how granular). It’d be helpful to understand how much detail would be useful and what would be overwhelming.
