Question

I cannot access Azure Active Directory page in Azure Portal error 403

Marek Wdowiak 21

I am using a student license provided by my university. I try to install and use the vagrant plugin. It is needed to create an Azure Active Directory Application with access to Azure Resource Manager for the current Azure Subscription (az ad sp create-for-rbac). I got the following error

Directory permission is needed for the current user to register the application. For how to configure, please refer 'https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-group-create-service-principal-portal'. Original error: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.

So I go to the given link and try to check my permission in Azure Active Directory but when I try to go AAD page I got 403 error

Can university administrator block access to the whole Azure Active Directory for students or there is some other cause for this error?

Hi @Marek Wdowiak ,

You need permission to read the directory data to see the list of users, and as you suspected it appears that your admin has not done that. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/users-default-permissions

To register an application, your admin needs to either grant all users in the directory the ability to register an application, or assign a role to you that can.
