About
# Azure Portal Search Link Builder
## Quick Reference
| Item | Value | |------|-------| | Script | [`references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1`](references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1) | | Resource map | [`references/resource-types.json`](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
1. Collect **resource link** (portal URL or bare ARM resource ID) and **search query** from the user. 2. Run `references/Invoke-PortalSearchNav.ps1 -ResourceUrl '<link>' -Query '<query>'`. 3. The script signs in (browser by default; pass `-UseDeviceAuthentication` in headless/CLI environments), calls the search API, and prints portal deep links always rooted at `https://portal.azure.com`.
See [references/README.md](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` |
