You do not have permissions to view this resource in foundry

Hello @Suraj Panker ,

Hey Suraj – it looks like you’re hitting a classic RBAC roadblock when you try to hook up your Azure Cognitive Search service in the Azure AI Foundry portal. Under the covers, Foundry makes a subscription-level API call to list your Search services, and if your user account doesn’t have the right role at that scope you’ll see the “you do not have permissions to view this resource” message.

Here’s what you can try:

1. Make sure you’re in the right Azure AD directory and subscription
   • In the top-right of the Azure portal, click your account, then switch directories/subscriptions until you land in the one that actually contains your Cognitive Search resource.
2. Check your role assignments on the subscription or resource group
   • Navigate to your subscription (or the resource group where the search service lives) > Access control (IAM) > Role assignments
   • You need at least: • Reader (or Contributor) at the subscription level • Or one of the Search-specific roles at subscription or resource-group level: – Azure Cognitive Search Service Reader – Azure Cognitive Search Service Contributor
3. If you don’t have those, ask your subscription owner or admin to grant you the appropriate role. Role changes can take up to 30 minutes to propagate, so you might need to sign out/in or wait a bit.
4. Alternative workaround: use the Admin/query API keys on your Search service
   • In the Azure portal, go to your Search service > Settings > Keys
   • Grab a key and in Foundry choose the “API key” authentication mode instead of RBAC

If you still run into permission errors after confirming the above, can you share a bit more detail?

• Subscription ID, resource group name and search service name you’re targeting

• Exact role(s) you see under IAM for your user or service principal

• Whether you’re using a user account or a managed identity to sign in to Foundry
