Windows Intune IW Portal error

In the Windows Intune Administration console, I went to the Company Portal node, and then entered all my particulars answers and saved them. At the bottom of this page is a hyperlink titled:
Windows Intune company portal: https://portal.manage.microsoft.com
When I click on it, I get directed to an error page that says:
Quote:
HomeThis account is not authorized
Your user account is not authorized to use Windows Intune IW Portal.
Contact your account administrator to request access.:Unquote
Since I am the account administrator I'm afraid I cannot find how to add access to myself.
Does anyone know how I can do so?

Hi Dave,
This should not be the case. Can you try logging out of everything and open the company portal website directly?
https://portal.manage.microsoft.com/
If that still isn't working please open a support case.
Thanks,

Thanks Jon, that did it.
I rebooted, and then I got right in - from the link I supplied in my original question above.
However, in order to bring up this forum to reply back to you, I must sign in to a particular Live-ID, and then clicking the same link brings me back to the same access errors.
My problem is I have way too many live-id's and accounts. Each one needed for different functions. For example, I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and I need a live ID to download courseware and VM's for courses, however, I also run a Microsoft Partner that has Learning Solutions competency, so I need a separate Live-ID to ORDER, that is purchase, courseware. I also have a v-dash for my contract work I do for MSFT. And then I've been trying to consolidate all my accounts and Live-IDs into one for Office 365 as part of our partner Cloud Accelerate program....
What a mess!
So thanks, I'm marking yours as the answer, but I think it will always be this way due to my account mess.

Hi Dave,
I too have many ID's I must use and it can become painful sometimes. A workaround you can try in Internet Explorer, open the "File Menu" and choose "New Session". That will create a new window that isn't signed into any accounts/services.
Thanks,
