Hello Kindi Mohamed DIALLO,

Thanks for your question.

I will recommend you ensure that the authentication method used in your runbook is correctly configured to use the appropriate permissions.

See: Quickstart: Enable managed identities for your Automation account using the Azure portal and assign the permissions you need.
