Azure account and security

Question

At the moment the Azure account for SQL, compute, and .NET is allocated under one Live ID. Is their any way to allow other windows live ID's onto the same account?

At the moment if I want my developers to test any code on the platform I have to give them my Live credentials or log on for them which is not very secure for my ID !!

It would be great to be able to link other Live ID's with different roles within the one account. Is this on any list anywhere? Also as the account holder I want to be able to remove staff who leave and maybe wish to cause harm to the deployment.

Also as fairly mission critical deployments could be done on there is there any plans for a token based acess using something like the key generator for Amazon to further secure the account (http://onlinenoram.gemalto.com/) as it is not unknown for Live accounts to be compromised!

Thanks

Answer 1

Both of these suggestions are on our backlog of feature requests.

Answer 2

your developers can use the service management API and a certificate thus not needing to login to your live id. Only you have to create the project once before and have the certificate uploaded, the developers can do almost anything to deploy and test (for the compute part)

Still it would be nice to associate other ID's to an account and assign permissions.
