Getting does not have authorization to perform action or scope is invalid.

Kalyani Wani 75

We're getting the following error 'The client 'f774a339-7628-49ff-9829-49c522b6d49c' with object id 'f774a339-7628-49ff-9829-49c522b6d49c' does not have the authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/read' over scope '/subscriptions/3535caf0-dd76-4e49-8666-cdbb6f15aa55' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.' We've already given a Contributor role and added a few custom roles such as:

1.'Microsoft.Authorization//write', 2.'Microsoft.Authorization//read', 3.'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/', 4.'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/', 5.'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourcegroups/resources/', 6.'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resources/', 7.'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/locations/*'

Still facing the same issue.

If you go the subscription and Access Control (IAM ), "Check Access" , what does is show for access for that security principal you gave the permissions to?

I gave permissions to specific user, by selecting User,Group and service principal.

Hi, can you verify what access it has in the subscription?

I've provided Contributor role to the user, as shown in the image.
Also I've created custom roles, as mentioned in above message.

In addition, make sure you have the right subscription context within your tenant. You can confirm and ensure the subscription is indeed the correct one from the overview page of the SQL server resource in Azure portal. Run the command below to set your context.

Set-AzContext -Subscription 3535caf0-dd76-4e49-8666-cdbb6f15aa55

Setting the subscription in the context was what finally worked for me.

az account set --subscription "<subId>" if using Bash, otherwise see Yinka Idowu's 7/24/24 comment if using PowerShell: Set-AzContext -Subscription <subId>

@Kalyani Wani

The error is not related to the user but to the application. Kindly look for application/SPN name with client ID: 'f774a339-7628-49ff-9829-49c522b6d49c.

Navigate to the subscription > Choose the subscription > Add Role assignment > Reader > assign to the application SPN:

I think I'm having the same issue even though I am using Azure Global Admin user in my subscription. Using the same user, I never had this issue before. Now, I even cannot edit/create/delete any resources in my subscription.
I attached my user roles in the following screenshot:

Any idea?
Thanks

This works. Just assign the service principal the role of reader and the api call works like a charm.
