Answer 1

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

As a Global Administrator in Microsoft Entra ID, you might not have access to all subscriptions and management groups in your directory. These articles describe the ways that you can elevate your access to all subscriptions and management groups.

Answer 2

Global Administrator is an Entra ID role, which, by default, doesn't have permissions to Azure subscriptions linked to the Entra tenant.

You can, however, elevate your privileges as a Global Admin to be assigned the Owner role in the Azure subscriptions by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin?tabs=azure-portal
