Azure Portal Search Link Builder
Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Script | `references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1` |
| Resource map | `references/resource-types.json` |
| Prerequisite | Az.Accounts PowerShell module |
| Auth | Interactive Microsoft sign-in (Connect-AzAccount), or device-code with -UseDeviceAuthentication |
When to Use This Skill
- User asks to find where in the Azure portal to perform an operation on a supported
Container Service, Arc-enabled Kubernetes, or Compute resource.
- User wants a portal deep link for a specific blade/menu item.
- User provides a resource URL or ARM resource ID and a natural-language search query.
Workflow
- Collect resource link (portal URL or bare ARM resource ID) and search query from the user.
- Run
references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1 -ResourceUrl '<link>' -Query '<query>'. - The script signs in (browser by default; pass
-UseDeviceAuthenticationin headless/CLI
environments), calls the search API, and prints portal deep links always rooted at https://portal.azure.com.
See references/README.md for full parameter reference and API details.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Resource type not enabled | armProvider not in references/resource-types.json | Confirm the type is in the enabled-provider list |
| 401 from API | Invalid token, or wrong tenant selected | Re-run and select the account with access to the target subscription's tenant |
| Empty results | No matching navigation item for the query | Try a different search term |
Az.Accounts not found | Module not installed | Install-Module Az.Accounts -Scope CurrentUser |
| Browser sign-in fails (no window handle) | Headless/CLI environment | Re-run with -UseDeviceAuthentication |
