SYNTAX
Import-AzureRmContext [-AzureContext] <AzureRmProfile> [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>] [-Scope {Process | CurrentUser}] [-Confirm]
[-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
Import-AzureRmContext [-Path] <String> [-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>] [-Scope {Process | CurrentUser}] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Import-AzureRmContext cmdlet loads authentication information from a file to set the Azure environment and context. Cmdlets that you run in
the current session use this information to authenticate requests to Azure Resource Manager.
PARAMETERS
-AzureContext <AzureRmProfile>
Specifies the Azure context from which this cmdlet reads. If you do not specify a context, this cmdlet reads from the local default context.
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>
The credentials, tenant, and subscription used for communication with azure
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Path <String>
Specifies the path to context information saved by using Save-AzureRMContext.
Required? true
Position? 0
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Scope <ContextModificationScope>
Determines the scope of context changes, for example, whether changes apply only to the current process, or to all sessions started by this
user.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).
INPUTS
Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Models.AzureRMProfile
Contains the set of credentials, accounts, and subscriptions that are used to communicate with Azure.
OUTPUTS
Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Profile.Models.PSAzureProfile
Contains the set of credentials, accounts, and subscriptions that can be used to communicate with Azure.
NOTES
Example 1: Importing a context from a AzureRmProfile
PS C:\\> Import-AzureRmContext -AzureContext (Connect-AzureRmAccount)
Environment : AzureCloud
Account : test@outlook.com
TenantId : xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
SubscriptionId : yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy
SubscriptionName : Test Subscription
CurrentStorageAccount :
This example imports a context from a PSAzureProfile that is passed through to the cmdlet.
Example 2: Importing a context from a JSON file
PS C:\\> Import-AzureRmContext -Path C:\\test.json
Environment : AzureCloud
Account : test@outlook.com
TenantId : xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
SubscriptionId : yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy
SubscriptionName : Test Subscription
CurrentStorageAccount :
This example selects a context from a JSON file that is passed through to the cmdlet. This JSON file can be created from Save-AzureRmContext.
