Resolved - CDX / demos.microsoft.com "Not Authorized" error #CDX
Just wanted to put it out there a recent issue I faced while accessing CDX tool (https://demos.microsoft.com). When logged in using my work account it errored out with below error:
This message is quite misleading, as I do have a Partner account. Thankfully, I found an article:
Can't access cdx.transform.microsoft.com "Not Authorized" - Microsoft Community
I had to:
i. Launch https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info in incognito mode and Sign in with your work account to re-enforce MFA-based login.
ii. Then launch https://cdx.transform.microsoft.com and enable third party cookies for this website.
Then it gives the below Login Failed page which makes more sense (as it turns out, it was CDX who was missing some permissions required and not the other way around, lol. Ideally, if it pointed out the below error message by default without requiring above steps, it would have been a lot easier to get to the resolution):
In my case, MFA was enforced and Cookies were already allowed. The last step was to click on the "by clicking on this link" hyperlink to allow Consent to the user permissions required by CDX tool. This can by done by the end user itself.
Once consent is provided using the link, the tool is accessible in normal Browser mode.
Note: If all users in the tenant are not able to access CDX, then Global Admin needs to follow the "by clicking on this link" to provide consent to CDX permissions. In this case you might get a "Consent" page upfront instead of above errors to request for consent from Global admin to "transform.microsoft.com".
