Unable to create shared image gallery

Question

Hi,

I am trying to create a compute gallery to share a VM image but cannot select the option "RBAC + share gallery".

When I check the "Resource providers" for the selected subscription, the "Microsoft.compute" is already registered.

What is causing this issue?

Thanks in advance.

@Eagle 3D Streaming Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

Azure Compute Gallery – direct shared gallery is currently in PREVIEW and subject to the Preview Terms for Azure Compute Gallery.

To publish images to a direct shared gallery during the preview, you need to register at https://aka.ms/directsharedgallery-preview.

Please submit the form and share your use case, we will evaluate the request and follow up in 10 business days after submitting the form. No additional access required to consume images, Creating VMs from a direct shared gallery is open to all Azure users in the target subscription or tenant the gallery is shared with. In most scenarios RBAC/Cross-tenant sharing using service principal is sufficient, request access to this feature only if you wish to share images widely with all users in the subscription/tenant.

During the preview, you need to create a new gallery, with the property sharingProfile.permissions set to Groups. When using the CLI to create a gallery, use the --permissions groups parameter. You can't use an existing gallery, the property can't currently be updated.
