Dears,

I hav been trying get list of jobs of Azure's runbooks. However, neither of .net code nore Postman was sucessful. I keep getting the error: {"error":{"code":"AuthorizationFailed","message":"The client with object id ' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts/jobs/read' over scope .. . I am the owener of the subscription, and my azure's app has the "read" permission.

Hi @PeterK , I want to help you with this question.

I tried to recreate the error and I could imagine that you forgot to assign the reader permissions on the specific automation account resource for the service principal (app registration).

I will get the same error when I forget this.

Otherwise, the Postman request works. My test automation account had no jobs but I got an empty array back.

If the reply was helpful, please don’t forget to upvote or accept it as an answer, thank you.
