Ability to give friendly names to subscriptions #4171

Open greglow-sdu opened 3 years ago

greglow-sdu commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I work as a consultant. I have several clients who have identical subscription names, particularly startups who all have a subscription called "Microsoft Azure Sponsorship". Some clients have subscriptions just named "Microsoft Azure". Currently it's really, really difficult to work out which is which in the explorer tree.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to see the ability to add a friendly name that's displayed, where I can, for example, put my clients' names there instead. Perhaps a hover would then also show the underlying "real" name.

Describe alternatives you've considered An option would be to get the clients to rename their subscriptions but I don't see that happening.

Additional context In the attached screenshot, I can tell who the first subscription is, even with a generic name, as I use a different identity. But for the next two, they are different clients. I have no idea which is which. And now I have many of these. ASE_Explorer

We'll solve this type of problem by adding the option to include tenant level nodes in the tree view.
