The error message is quite clear: You don't have sufficient permissions to perform the operation. But you think you should have permission?

Hi @STSI Support This error indicates that you do not have the permissions to perform delete action on the server.

Please make sure you have one of the below roles to be able to delete the server:

Owner
Contributor
SQL Server Contributor

Steps to check access on the server:

Go to Azure Portal > SQL Server > Access Control (IAM) > Check your role.
Ensure you have Owner, Contributor, or SQL Server Contributor role.

Let me know if you have any further queries on this :)
