Get-AzContext

  • Reference
Module:
Az.Accounts

Gets the metadata used to authenticate Azure Resource Manager requests.

Syntax

Get-AzContext
   [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
   [[-Name] <String>]
   [<CommonParameters>]
Get-AzContext
   [-ListAvailable]
   [-RefreshContextFromTokenCache]
   [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-AzContext cmdlet gets the current metadata used to authenticate Azure Resource Manager requests. This cmdlet gets the Active Directory account, Active Directory tenant, Azure subscription, and the targeted Azure environment. Azure Resource Manager cmdlets use these settings by default when making Azure Resource Manager requests. When the available amount of subscription exceeds the default limit of 25, some subscriptions may not show up in the results of Get-AzContext -ListAvailable. Please run Connect-AzAccount -MaxContextPopulation <int> to get more contexts.

Examples

Example 1: Getting the current context

Connect-AzAccount
Get-AzContext

Name                                     Account             SubscriptionName    Environment         TenantId
----                                     -------             ----------------    -----------         --------
Subscription1 (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx... test@outlook.com    Subscription1       AzureCloud          xxxxxxxx-x...

In this example we are logging into our account with an Azure subscription using Connect-AzAccount, and then we are getting the context of the current session by calling Get-AzContext.

Example 2: Listing all available contexts

Get-AzContext -ListAvailable

Name                                     Account             SubscriptionName    Environment         TenantId
----                                     -------             ----------------    -----------         --------
Subscription1 (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx... test@outlook.com    Subscription1       AzureCloud          xxxxxxxx-x...
Subscription2 (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx... test@outlook.com    Subscription2       AzureCloud          xxxxxxxx-x...
Subscription3 (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxx... test@outlook.com    Subscription3       AzureCloud          xxxxxxxx-x...

In this example, all currently available contexts are displayed. The user may select one of these contexts using Select-AzContext.
