How can I give another user access to my Azure portal resources?

Question

I am trying to give other users access to my resources in the Azure portal. I am trying to add them as a Contributor, but it seems like they are not able to see the resources when they login to the Azure portal.

Here's the access control list for the VM:

Any ideas why they can't see the resource when they login to the portal?
They are a Contributor.

Answer 1

When you add a user to an Azure subscription, s/he is also added to the directory if s/he isn't already there. This is considered an "invitation" that must be accepted before the user can get access. Tell the person to check their email, if this is the first time the email address has been added to a subscription in the directory. (Note that personal subscriptions are usually created along with a new directory whereas company subscriptions are usually in the company's directory.)

After accepting the invitation, s/he will need to switch to the directory before the subscription will be visible. You can do that in the top-right, like Juunas mentioned in the comment above. Here's a link to the directory switcher: https://portal.azure.com/#menu/account.
