Az account does not support switching between accounts

[cveld]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a couple of accounts in my tenant. az account set only allows for the current account to switch between subscriptions.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to see all available contexts and switch between them. Refer to Az PowerShell's Get-AzContext -ListAvailable and Set-AzContext.

If you run az account list you will only see the "unique" subscriptions, not the full list available accounts.

Could you explain what you mean by "accounts"? "account" is only an Azure CLI concept, which is either a subscription account or tenant account (--allow-no-subscriptions).

If you are referring to user account, yes, Azure CLI current only uses subscription ID as the primary key for selection. This was discussed in #15005.

Thanks for the follow up. Issue #15005 is exactly describing what I would expect. Apparently it was already raised more than a year ago. Could you please prioritize?

I am also experiencing something related to my requirement:

As soon as I switch the az cli context then in every session the context is switched. Ideally other sessions keep their own context until the session is restarted. I guess you can use non persistent local environment variables for this which get flushed when a session is terminated.
