So, when I got this message in the camera control … I got mad, because I didn’t find out where to allow that access on my computer (especially because it worked before).

Gain access as delegated partner to another Office365 tenant with PowerShell

The goal was administer an Office365 tenant as delegated partner. But, currently I had difficulties to access another Office365 tenant in the Microsoft Partner Portal.

Anyway, I tried to use PowerShell instead… The red marked links opened the Microsoft Partner Portal, but not on behalf of the partner tenant, but only showing my own Office 365 tenant… ...
