I am looking to sign my program through Microsoft's Trusted Signing, I am an individual developer and have followed all the steps from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/trusted-signing/quickstart?tabs=registerrp-portal%2Caccount-portal%2Cindiedevvalidation%2Ccertificateprofile-portal%2Cdeleteresources-portal

But became stuck once I reached the identity verification, it seems my identity verification is greyed out and does not give me the option to create one. How do I start identity verification as an individual developer?

    Hello Cameron Schmidt,

    I understand that you are not able to create a New identity under Identity Validation. This happens if the signed-in user does not have required role under Azure Trusted Signing account.

    Initially, I too faced same issue where New identity option was greyed out when I don't have required role assigned:

    To fix this, you need to have the Trusted Signing Identity Verifier role assigned under your Azure Trusted Signing account as mentioned in this MS Article:

    In my case, I assigned the user Trusted Signing Identity Verifier role under the Azure Trusted Signing account like this:

    enter image description here

    Once the role is assigned, try refreshing the page, and you should be able to proceed with identity validation as New Identity option is enabled now to create identity like this:

    Hope this helps!
