MCT Lougne Access denied

Hi all,

I am going to do one (hopefully correct!) update to this post with the correct link and the next steps, then I will lock this thread, keep in mind that our team can not help you with MCT access and follow the steps in the declined notification to contact the MCT Support team.

I just don't want you guys wasting lots of time posting here when the best bet is to contact the MCT Team directly.

If you are an MCT then, first of all go to https://aka.ms/TechCommunity/WhoAmI and check the email address your using to access the community is the email address you have registered with the MCT team for your certifications (I don't believe it is necessarily the same email you use in your learn profile).

If your email doesn't match

Choice 1: If you are using a Personal Microsoft Account you can go to the account portal and change your primary alias to the desired email address, it may take up to 24 hours to update in the Microsoft Tech Community, once updated you can request access.

Choice 2 : Re-register for the Microsoft Tech Community with the same email address you are using for certifications and then claim the access role

Choice 3: Request access vis the steps below and when you get a decline notice follow the steps to contact MCT support and see if you can change the email that the MCT Program is using.
If your email does match follow these steps:

1. goto https://aka.ms/TechCommunity/AccessRequest and click the request button.
2. If you get an approved notification then you can access the MCT Lounge by coming back to the Microsoft Tech Community homepage and clicking on Lounges >> MCT Lounge
3. if you get a declined notice then follow the steps to contact MCT Support and provide the information requested.

Apologies for any inconvenience
