[#VSONLINE] HowTo: Configure an Online subscription and manage accounts

Hello!

today I write about the management of accounts assigned to an Visual Studio Online account. All this environment relays on an Azure account, so you have to go to the Azure portal to start the process.

The creation of an VSOnline is part of the Azure creation wizard, and simply defining the associated prefix to. visualstudio.com, can reserve your ‘domain’.

Once created you’ll see the fabulous Welcome that all is ready! with the most interesting and important links

In the account mode, that you probably already from Visual Studio online, you’ll see a couple of interesting stuff; like the option “Scale Users and resources”, where you can manage accounts for his subscription.

If you return to the site of our subscription, you will get the option to create your first project.

At this time you can also access to the Users section, that’s the main stuff for this post. In this section you can add the different accounts that will work on this instance of VSOnline. In the image below, I’ve added my MSN account and the account of the Valentino. In my account I have marked it as an account associated with a MSDN subscription, this type of accounts are validated the first time they login into the site.

Once I performed the first login, I can see that it has been validated as a valid MSDN account. And I have

2 FREE accounts
1 has MSDN

So right now I can add 3 free accounts over to my subscription

At the end, you have to be careful because right now you probably have something similar to the following picture; and in 90 days… you’ll have to pay.
