Invalid role error

Question

One of my user admin is trying to upload the profile photo of another non admin user and he is getting the error mentioned below.

Set-MgUserPhotoContent -UserId

Set-MgUserPhotoContent : invalid_role

Status: 403 (Forbidden)

ErrorCode: ForbiddenByPolicy

As per the user does have user admin role and necessary delegated permissions.

Does it not work with user admin role?

Answer 1

Based on the error you’ve encountered, it appears that the upload of your profile picture is being blocked by a policy defined in the Security section of the Azure portal. Please check if there is an active policy that restricts the upload of profile images.
