Hi, I want to use run command on an Azure VM, but when I try to use it, I have the message you can see on the picture below. Basically, it says: Command list is not available due to missing permissions or location specific limitations. The thing is that the administrator of my subscription gave me a contributor role and VM contributor role to be sure i can use it. Could you help me understand why I still don't have the right to use it please ?

Hello @Clément Huriaux , Welcome to the MS Q&A forum. To narrow down the root cause, could you please let me know: Which exactly command do you run (+ operation system)? Can you run the same command directly on a VM? Can you try to run any simple command on a VM? Like print output. Please copy and past as a text the error message there. Provide screenshot of your access level to a VM from the Access Control: Sincerely, Olga Os

Hello @Clément Huriaux ,

Welcome to the MS Q&A forum.

To narrow down the root cause, could you please let me know:

Can you run the same command directly on a VM?

Can you try to run any simple command on a VM? Like print output.

Hi thank you for your answer !

Here are my answers for each point you asked me.

For the command I try to run, well nothing through the run-command as I can't even go though the list of options. But I want to run a powershell script on the VM which run under Windows 10.

Yes It works well on the machine, the script run perfectly

No I can't run any command through run-command because I can't even use it, as I said, I don't have the right to use it

Yes the error message is: La liste de commandes n'est pas disponible en raison d'autorisations manquantes ou de limitations spécifiques de l'emplacement. I translated it in my first message since this is in French (I'm from France)

The screen shot is below. It says: Contributeur which means Contributor and Contributeur de machine virtuelles which means Virtual Machines Contributor.

As Run Command is not being loaded, I suspect it could be related to the missed Microsoft.Compute/locations/runCommands/read permission on Subscription Level.
Based on the "Limiting access to Run Command" description:

Could you please test it by providing this permission to your account?

Sincerely,
Olga Os
