Question

Azure :: Virtual Network :: Standard Service End Points :: "Network Identifier" drop down not in the UI

Philipp Weckerle 5 Microsoft Employee

the doc around standard service endpoints (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/private-link/configure-service-endpoint-standard-portal#configure-service-endpoints-with-a-network-identifier) ask the user to specify the service and then the "network identifier" from a drop down, BUT this drop down is not visible in the UI (Settings > Subnets > <thesubnet> flyout.

pls advise.

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

The “Network identifier” dropdown is not generally available in the azure portal UI, even though the doc mentions it. That option appears only for specific services that support service endpoint policies/network-scoped endpoints, and even then it is often not exposed in the portal yet (doc is ahead of UI). In most regions and for most services, you will only see the service selection (microsoft.storage, microsoft.sql, etc.), not the network identifier field. If you actually need to configure a network identifier, you must do it via ARM template/bicep/azure CLI, and only if the target service supports it; otherwise, it is expected behavior that the dropdown is missing.
