    @Isaac Wertheimer

    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    Error Message:

    The client 'live.com#' with object id '' does not have authorization to perform action.

    I understand when you try to navigate to your Azure Subscription, you're running into the above error message. Depending on the action that you're trying to perform within the Subscription, please make sure that your user is assigned the correct RBAC permissions.

    To view your current access you can navigate to your Subscription and select the Access Control (IAM) button.

    Note: You can also scroll down on the left hand side and select "My Permissions" to view your current user's permissions.

    Hello Isaac,

    Someone with access to the Azure SQL instance will need to grant you access through IAM (Access Control) to your account. It looks like you may be a guest to the tenant from the message.
