+# Accessing the VMware Solution by CloudSimple portal from Azure portal
+
+Single sign-on is supported for access to the CloudSimple portal. After you sign in to the Azure portal, you can access the CloudSimple portal without signing in again. The first time you access the CloudSimple portal you're prompted to authorize the [CloudSimple Service Authorization](#consent-to-cloudsimple-service-authorization-application) application.  Authorization is a one-time action.
+
+## Sign in to Azure
+
+Sign in to the Azure portal at [https://portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com).
+
+## Access the CloudSimple portal
+
+1. Select **All services**.
+
+2. Search for **CloudSimple Services**.
+
+3. Select the CloudSimple service on which you want to create your Private Cloud.
+
+4. On the **Overview** page, click **Go to the CloudSimple portal**.  If you're accessing the CloudSimple portal from the Azure portal for the first time, you'll be prompted to authorize the [CloudSimple Service Authorization](#consent-to-cloudsimple-service-authorization-application) application. 
+

+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you select a Private Cloud operation (such as creating or expanding a Private Cloud) directly from the Azure portal, the CloudSimple portal opens to the indicated page.
+
+In the CloudSimple portal, select **Home** on the side menu to display summary information about your Private Clouds. The resources and capacity of your Private Clouds are shown, along with alerts and tasks that require attention. For common tasks, click the named icons at the top of the page.

+
+## Consent to CloudSimple Service Authorization application
+
+Launching the CloudSimple portal from the Azure portal for the first time requires your consent for the CloudSimple Service Authorization application.  Select **Accept** to grant requested permissions and access the CloudSimple portal. 
+
+![Consent to CloudSimple Service Authorization - administrators](media/cloudsimple-azure-consent.png)
+
+If you have global administrator privilege, you can consent for your organization.  Select **Consent on behalf of your organization**.

+
+If your permissions don't permit access to the CloudSimple portal, contact the global administrator of your tenant to grant required permissions.  A global administrator can consent on behalf of your organization.
