I am getting this error while configuring Azure Web App deployment. The build pipeline already contains a web app deployment, I am trying to add one more.

    I resolved it. Instead of adding a new web app deployment step - which was causing issue. I cloned the properly working step and changed the target web app. And it worked without any issue.

    Thanks for asking question! It looks like you don’t have the required permissions on the AAD, and thus you are not able to configure.
    Please refer to the below link might be helpful:
