Unable to assign RBAC role

Question

I was unable to assign RBAC role before 30th April for my Azure subscription and now I can neither make changes nor cancel my subscription.

I will be grateful if someone can provide a proper technical way out of this situation or suggest the appropriate method for cancelling the subscription.

Hi,

I'm assuming your account has Global Administrator role to the Entra ID tenant. If this is true, please first follow instructions in article below to elevate access:

Elevate access for a Global Administrator

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin?tabs=azure-portal%2Centra-audit-logs#perform-steps-at-root-scope

Once you have elevated access, sign out and sign-in again for the change to take effect.

Next navigate to your subscription in Azure portal, then on left click Access control (IAM) blade.

Click Add -- Add role assignment, next click Privileged administrator roles tab, select Owner, click Next, click Select members, search for and Select your account, click Next, on Conditions tab select Allow user to assign all roles (highly privileged), click Review + assign, Review + assign.

After adding Owner role assignment, please sign out and back in for the change to take effect.

After you are finished please remember to toggle the elevated access back to off.
