Hello David Moore

If you are the Global Admin of the Tenant where the Subscription resides. Hence you need to elevate access and assign yourself the owner role like below:

Go to Azure Portal -> Microsoft Entra ID -> Properties -> Access management for Azure resources -> Yes -> Save

And then Go to Subscriptions -> Select Azure subscription 1 -> Open Access control (IAM) -> Click Add → Add role assignment -> Select Privileged administrator roles -> Select Owner -> Assign it to the same account
