Question

Webapp disabled within Azure

Abdullah Sanders 0

I have a webapp that will not start within Azure. The status is "admin disabled" we fixed our billing issue months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Abdullah Sanders
It seems your web app is showing as "admin disabled" in Azure. This could be due to billing issues or changes in your subscription status.

Make sure your subscription is active and not suspended, especially after updating billing details.

In the Azure portal, look for options to "Start" or "Enable" your web app, as manual action might be needed after billing issues.

Confirm your account has the right permissions, like Contributor, to manage the web app. More about role-based access control .

Check your web app's access restrictions to ensure access hasn't been disabled.

Hi Shree Hima Bindu Maganti,

Thanks for responding. I've confirmed all steps. I'm still having issues with Enabling the web app. How could I get help with manual action?

Hi @Abdullah Sanders

What specific error messages, if any, are you seeing when you try to enable the web app?
We haven’t heard from you on the last response in private message and was just checking back to see if you have a resolution yet.
Try to start the app by using the below CLI command and check once.

az webapp start --name AppName --resource-group RGName

Review your Subscription and billing accounts in the Cost Management + Billing. Make sure if you have any missed pay invoices in past (which might have disabled the subscription).

Check whether you have any notifications related to the App service disable status.
