A company email is required to setup a Microsoft Fabric account. It can't be created using personal email. However, there is a simple and easy way to create it even if you don't have a company email. Here are some steps involved in creating a Microsoft Fabric account.

  • If you don't have an Azure account, create an account. This can be done using your personal or company email.

  • You may choose Azure Free trial or pay-as-you-go option for Azure account.

Set up a free Fabric sandbox environment
  • If you have created Azure account using your company email, you may skip this step as the focus for this step is to create a business email user with Fabric admin role that would have the capability to signup for Fabric account. Go to Microsoft Entra ID Service in Azure portal. Click on Users. Add a new user. Enter basic information. Click on Assignments tab. Add Fabric Administrator role and click on Review & Create.

  • Go to https://app.fabric.microsoft.com and enter the email that you have created above or enter your company's email and click submit.

  • Click on Sign-in and enter password. It will prompt you for a new password and ask to complete a few basic steps.

  • Once all the requested information is provided, you will be directed to Microsoft Fabric's home page.

  • Congratulations, you have now successfully created a free Fabric sandbox environment.
