How to take control of an Azure Subscription without being an administrator
As a global administrator in Azure Active Directory or Microsoft 365, you often don't have access to all Azure subscriptions. IT administrators who realize projects don't give control to regular IT admins, so ownership doesn't end up with the right people.
