Authorization Failed When Creating Virtual Machine

Question

Having the contributor role for a specific resource group, an attempt to create a virtual machine results in an "Authorization failed" error. What steps can be taken to resolve this issue?

Hi Vivian Glen

Even though you have Contributor role, it could be failing due to the permission needed for creating the network components like VNET, Network Security Group, public IP etc. You could add the 'Network Contributor role', if you want to create the network items when creating the VM. Try creating the VM after adding the role and see if it works!

Hope this helps.
