az role assignment create hangs

Question

I'm following the steps at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/tutorial-ingress-controller-add-on-new to set up AKS with an ingress controller. The process hangs / takes too long on the command:

az role assignment create --assignee $agicAddonIdentity --scope $appGatewaySubnetId --role "Network Contributor"

I'm running this via the web terminal. It's timed out twice.

Any tips or advice to workaround this?

Thanks.

Hi Chen Lim,
Based upon your question, sometimes transient issues can cause timeouts. Wait a few minutes and then try running the command again.

Run the Azure CLI commands from your local machine instead of the web terminal and ensure that your account has the necessary permissions to create role assignments, you may need Owner or User Access Administrator permissions on the subscription or resource group.

Make sure your Azure CLI is updated to the latest version, as issues are often resolved in newer releases. Additionally, you can add --debug to your command to get more detailed logs, which may help you identify the cause of the timeout.
