Error when generating credentials for GitHub Actions in CLI

Question

I am trying to generate credentials to use for GitHub actions but I keep getting the error message "Subscription 'resourceGroups' not found. Check the spelling and casing and try again." I copied and pasted the command from [Use GitHub Actions workflow to deploy your static website in Azure Storage] and inserted my own id and path. I saw from another post to remove the leading "/" before subscriptions to get it to work.

I just tried using the exact command with the leading "/" and I get the error "(MissingSubscription) The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider.

Code: MissingSubscription

Message: The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider."

Answer 1

The correct structure for the command should be:

az ad sp create-for-rbac -n MyApp --role Contributor --scopes /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/resourceGroup1 /subscriptions/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/resourceGroups/resourceGroup2

See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/ad/sp?view=azure-cli-latest#az-ad-sp-create-for-rbac
