# What Information Does Archera Require to Connect to My Azure Account?

Archera needs two values to start Azure onboarding.

## Required information

### Tenant ID

The tenant ID identifies your Microsoft Entra tenant.

### Subscription ID

The subscription ID identifies the subscription Archera uses during onboarding.

Archera uses this subscription to create the resource group, storage account, and cost exports needed for setup.

{% hint style="info" %}
Azure cost exports must live in a storage account inside your tenant.
{% endhint %}

## How to find these IDs

If you do not already have these values, get them from the Azure portal.

1. Open Microsoft’s guide for finding Azure tenant and subscription IDs.
2. Copy the `Tenant ID`.
3. Copy the `Subscription ID` for the subscription you plan to use during onboarding.

See [Get subscription and tenant IDs in the Azure portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/get-subscription-tenant-id).
