Common Issues: Azure provider registration error

  • Article

Possible Error Messages

  • Failed to register Azure providers

Resolution

Before you can use your Azure subscription, Azure requires that you register access to the Azure resource providers. CycleCloud, when adding new accounts, will attempt to register the providers for use in your subscription. If the service principal configured for CycleCloud does not have permission to register the providers, this error will occur.

There are two possible resolutions:

  1. Grant the CycleCloud service principal the following permissions:

    • Microsoft.Compute/register/action
    • Microsoft.Storage/register/action
    • Microsoft.Network/register/action
    • Microsoft.Resources/register/action
    • Microsoft.Commerce/register/action

  2. Use the Azure CLI to manually register the providers

az provider register --namespace "Microsoft.Compute"
az provider register --namespace "Microsoft.Storage"
az provider register --namespace "Microsoft.Network"
az provider register --namespace "Microsoft.Resources"
az provider register --namespace "Microsoft.Commerce"
