Switching tenant in Microsoft 365 Defender
[Updated post]
What’s described in this post is no longer applicable due to TID parameter are added to links in the portal
We developed an extension that does exactly the same thing but this is not needed anymore hence why we won’t release it. Microsoft has updated links in the portal to include the TID-parameter which is awesome and for people working with many customers this is really great news and you don’t need multiple profiles either!

If you work with multiple customers with Microsoft 365 Defender or working in a multi-tenant setup, you have probably noticed that your end up in the first tenant even if changing the tid-parameter in the url.
The reason why this happens is that when for instance, clicking on links in Defender, it will take you to the tenant stored in a cookie, especially if you don’t have the tenant id parameter in the link.
It can be addressed by working with multiple profiles, but if you don’t want that you can just do the following
Open dev tools and go to Application and expand Cookies
Select the security.microsoft.com and right-click on sccauth and select delete
Refresh the page
