Cannot create a new storage account for "Exercise - Create a storage blob." How can I resolve this?

Question

When attempting to create a new storage account for "Exercise - Create a storage blob" I get this error:

The client XXX with object XXX does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Storage/skus/read' over scope XXX or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.

Who do I request this from for the Azure Training tutorials?

Hi Paul Goings,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Are you using a sandbox environment for the Azure training exercise? If so, there shouldn't be any limitations on creating storage accounts. However, if you're using your own Azure subscription, you might be facing a permission issue.

To resolve:

• Verify permissions: Ensure you have the "Storage Account Contributor" role assigned to the resource group where you want to create the storage account. You can check and assign roles in the Azure portal under "Access control (IAM)" for the resource group.
• Refresh credentials: If you recently received necessary permissions, try signing out and back in to Azure. Sometimes, credential refresh is required for permission changes to take effect.
• Check subscription limits: Verify that your Azure subscription has the necessary quota and limits for creating storage accounts. You can check these in the Azure portal under "Subscriptions" -> "Usage + quotas".
• Try a different browser or incognito mode: Occasionally, browser-related issues can interfere. Try creating the storage account using a different browser or an incognito window.

I hope the above steps resolve your issue. If you face any future problems, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will be happy to assist you further.
