How can I change default tenant in Microsoft Graph Explorer

I am working with Graph Explorer to experiment with permissions:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer

When I authenticate to Graph Explorer, it always sends queries to the AD tenant that my identity is created in.

However, the identity I am using can query multiple Azure AD tenants.

This answer needs to be updated. Graph Explorer does "not" currently allow you to change tenant from what I have currently tested, using the methods mentioned.

Graph explorer is only working for the tenant your user is defaulted to.

In the past I am pretty sure as long as I was an admin/owner on the tenant I could switch. This no longer seems to be the cases. Tenant is not switching when I specifically specify "tenant=" and use both the primary domain and the original .onmicrosoft domain.

Create a service account in the tenant you want to access.

  1. Create a Service account with appropriate accesses/groups in the Target Tenant.
    • Users -> New user
    • Roles User Administrator
    • Save
  2. In a clean/Private Window bring up https://aka.ms/ge the Graph Explorer. Note that the test tenant will be engaged.
  3. Select the user button and initiate a login with the credentials setup in step 1.
  4. Initiate the first Get the Get My Profile to verify the service account logged in is found.

If you want to sign into your own tenant in Graph explorer, use tenant query string parameter.

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer?tenant=contoso.onmicrosoft.com

A simple url to go to Graph explorer is https://aka.ms/ge, when you land on the destination, just add tenant query string parameter (domain name or tenantId, both work).

If you are already signed into a tenant, you will have to logout from there. currently automatic switch of tenant is not supported.

This is fundamentally how Microsoft Graph works, it retrieves data from the tenant you (or your app) authenticated against. It cannot query across multiple tenants.
