Creating Azure Virtual Machine gives AuthorizationFailed on action "Microsoft.Resources/deployments/validate/action"

Question

I am trying to create a Azure Virtual Machine.

I get this error:

The client 'x@x.onmicrosoft.com' with object id '1-2-3-4-5' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/deployments/validate/action' over scope '/subscriptions/6-7-8-9-10/resourceGroups/limacharlie/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/CreateVm-canonical.0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy-2-20231005075943' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.

This is the input information I gave to Azure:

Hello Sindre,

Welcome to the MS Q&A Forum.

Do you create this VM from the Azure Portal? Were you able to create any VMs before?

I'd check yourself access level by navigating to the Subscription > Access Control (AIM).
