  3. Allow access to PowerShell from CSP account

    When attempting to use PowerShell in Cloud Shell with my CSP account, which has delegated Owner rights within Azure for the customer tenant, I get the error below. It works if I switch to a Global Admin account.

  5. Preconfigure PowerShell in Cloud Shell with PowerShell help files

    When we run Update-Help the downloaded help files are not persistent across PowerShell sessions because they are written in $pshome's subfolder.

    Could you preconfigure the Cloud Shell with the current PowerShell help files?

    Support copy/paste in Internet Explorer

    It's a joke: copy/paste in PS cloud shell doesn't work with IE ?!?!? It does so with Firefox, come on Microsoft - you've got to be kidding me.

  9. Enable-AzVMPSRemoting silently fails targetting a Linux VM

    If a target Linux VM is different than Ubuntu 18.04, Enable-AzVMPSRemoting silently fails to install PowerShell Core. The reason is the hard-coded URL for a PowerShell Core package:
    sudo wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb

  11. The red on blue can be hard to read for "color challenged" people

    The red on blue can be hard to read for "color challenged" people. Powershell allows customization of font and background color. It would be nice that Azure CLI allow customization of colors as well.

  12. Allow access to clipboard between Cloud Shell and Computer

    Allow clip, Set-Clipboard and Get-Clipboard to interact with accessing computer. This would allow for something like -

    Get-SuperInfo | Clip

    Then the data be on the computer.

  15. The number of allowed users is too short

    I got this error message

    Failed to provision a Cloud Shell: {"code":"TenantActiveUserQuotaReached","message":"Tenant '604c1504-c6a3-4080-81aa-b33091104187' has '301' active users in location 'westus', which exceeds the active user quota."}

    I think the number of allowed users is too short. I cannot advance in the modules becuase my work cannot be checked

  17. Restore the ability to map a network drive to Azure File Storage

    This used to be a feature in Cloud Shell. Then it disappeared sometime in the summer of 2018. Apparently it's something to do with the switch from windows to Linux.

    If you go to Azure File Storage and click the ellipsis you can still get a snippet of code that is supposed to mount a Z drive to that File Share. Only it doesn't work any more.

    I rasied a bug for it here:
    https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/8829#issuecomment-461560590

    And got told it *was* a bug. Therefore could I request it as a new feature.
    Which I am not sure makes total sense. But…
