Cosmos DB only connection and read access

Question

We are finding which permissions should be granted to some users, so they could connect to cosmos DB and view the data in database without giving them Contributor permissions. Just Read DB access , we granted read and Cosmos DB Account Reader Role but they cannot connect to the DB.

Hi, @Hector Huerta Tricolor Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform, and thanks for your query.
You cannot grant any existing roles. Here is the documentation page on data-plane access (read or write from a database account):
That doc walks you through the process that you can follow using Azure CLI or PowerShell to grant a principal (identity) access to read or write to resources in Azure Cosmos DB.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
