Purview login problem

Question

Cannot login to Purview - asking for Account Name but error message "Failed to list accounts: Purview first party app service principal not present in the tenant."

Answer 1

This thread got me enough info to make the new portal work. The key part was going to portal.azure.com, selecting one of our Azure Subscriptions (any subscription in your tenant will do), in the left hand pain navigate to Settings > Resource providers, then either browse the list or search for Microsoft.Purview, and then select it and hit register. Yes, you will need to have Global Admin rights to do this.... and you may also need to have owner rights on the subscription. Once that was done I was able to pop right into the new portal without issue. We are using the free version so our existing Purview Account was fine as it was, we weren't looking to upgrade to Enterprise version etc.

Hi @Brian Thom

Thanks for posting your query!

It looks like you are experiencing an issue logging into Microsoft Purview due to a missing service principal. This problem can occur if the necessary permissions or configurations are not set up correctly in your Azure Active Directory (AAD).

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you resolve this issue:

Verify Permissions - Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access Microsoft Purview. Typically, you need to be an Azure AD Global Administrator or have specific roles assigned to manage Purview.

Check Service Principal - Verify if the Microsoft Purview first-party application service principal exists in your Azure AD tenant. This can be done through the Azure portal.

Create or Re-register Service Principal - If the service principal is missing, you might need to create or re-register it. You can do this by: Navigating to the Azure Active Directory section in the Azure portal. Go to "Enterprise applications" and search for the Microsoft Purview application. If it does not exist, you may need to manually add it or re-deploy the Purview instance.

Assign Roles - Ensure that the correct roles are assigned to the service principal. This might include roles like "Reader" or "Contributor" in the Purview account.

Check Tenant Configuration - Ensure that your Azure AD tenant is properly configured to work with Microsoft Purview. This might involve checking settings related to multi-tenant access and consent.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you have any further queries.

The Classic Portal is no longer available to switch to with the Purview portal. When you see this pop up you must hit Get Started

Answer 4

TERRIBLY ANNOYING that Microsoft is Changing all sorts of things.

THIS I can not fix.

WHAT is an "Azure AD Global Administrator" is that "GLOBAL ADMINISTRATOR" ????

"Azure Active Directory" is that Entra??
