The Microsoft 365 admin centers and portals worth bookmarking, with the current web address for each. Checked September 2026.
Microsoft is moving admin and app sites to the cloud.microsoft domain. Older addresses such as admin.microsoft.com still work and redirect.

Tips
- Admin roles control what you see. If a page is empty or says you have no access, check your role in the Entra admin center.
- Sign in to admin portals with a separate admin account, and use a private browser window to test as a user.
- Government and 21Vianet clouds use different addresses. This sheet covers the worldwide commercial cloud.
