I have a python script running on an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine that needs to access a KeyVault in Azure. If have configured the following environment variables based on an "App Registration".
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<Client ID from App Registration>
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<Tenent ID from App Registration>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<SECRET Created in App Registration>
When I try accessing the KeyVault I get an access denied error.
Code: Forbidden
Message: The user, group or application 'appid=<APP_ID>;oid=
<GUID_VALUE>;iss=https://sts.windows.net/<GUID_VALUE>/' does not have secrets get permission
on key vault '<KEY_VAULT_NAME>;location=westus'. For help resolving this issue, please see
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2125287
Inner error: {
"code": "AccessDenied"
}
I assume I am getting this, because there is no Role Assignment in the KeyVault, however I may be wrong.
When I try adding a new Role Assignment to the KeyVault, there is no option under "Assign access to" for "App Registration". I tried both "User, Group or Service Principal" and "User Assigned Managed Identity", but it I always get the error "No users, groups, or service principals found.".
What am I missing here?

There are a few issues here:
You're trying to assign an RBAC role to an App Registration. What you need to do is assign an RBAC role to the Service Principal. To get the Service Principal Id, you would need to go to Enterprise Applications section in Azure AD and find the Id of your Service Principal (Object ID).
Assigning Reader RBAC role will not do the trick as this role is for managing the Key Vault itself and not the data inside it. There are two ways to solve this:
Use Access Policies: You can define appropriate access policies in your Azure Key Vault to give access to keys, secrets and certificates to your Service Principal.
Use Data RBAC Roles: Instead of using Management RBAC roles (like Reader, Contributor etc.), you will need to use RBAC roles for managing data inside the Key Vault.

I currently create a service principal using the Azure CLI:
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name foo --role Contributor
I need the service principal to have enough permissions to create/modify/delete various Azure AD resources including Applications, other Service Principals and Service Principal Passwords. When I use the above service principal to create other service principals, I currently get 403 Forbidden errors.
I have also tried using the 'Owner' and 'User Access Administrator' roles but these still give me a 403 error. What do I need to add to the above Azure CLI command or what additional role assignments do I need to add?
I'd like to use the service principal in a Pulumi program with their Azure AD provider (based on Terraform's Azure AD provider). See:
https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-azuread/issues/246
In order for a service principal to be able to manage applications it requires API permissions. There is no such thing as a scope, because the API permissions are against the Azure AD API. Scopes are only applicable when it is related to the Resource Manager API. These are not the same thing.
When you go to application registrations in Azure AD, you can find the application, this is also where you will be able to assign the API permissions and grant consent.
You will do this either on the Azure Active Directory Graph, or on the Microsoft Graph. In my experience only the permissions assigned with the Azure Active Directory Graph worked.
Application.ReadWrite.All
Application
Read and write all applications
Application.ReadWrite.OwnedBy
Application
Manage apps that this app creates or owns
You will find these two application permissions that you could use. The first you can use manage all applications.
The az cli command you are using is to create a role assignment. This is RBAC on the subscription, it has nothing to do with Azure AD aside from the service principal being an AAD resource.
You need to add the scope of this service principal and also change the Azure role of this Service Principal to 'User Access Administrator' to enable you to modify resources in Azure AD. Also, 'User Access Administrator' role will give the service principal the required permissions for that Azure role to assign RBAC permissions. Please refer the below command for more details: -
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name foo --role User Access Administrator --scopes /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroup1}
Also, ensure that the user ID through which you are creating this service principal and assigning the role to it has permissions to register and create applications in Azure AD. If not, then please assign that ID 'Application Administrator' Azure AD role or you should be allowed to create and register applications by an administrator even though being a 'User'.
You need to give your service principal "App admin" permissions. This allows you to create application registrations and also set their credentials. And it does not give it rights to do anything else such as manage users and groups. If your intent is to include those, you need to add additional roles to the service principal.

I need to create a service connection in Azure DevOps for service type "Azure Resource Manager".
When I am trying "Service principal (automatic)", I am able to do with proper permission. But when I am trying "Service principal (manual)", it needs service principle key. May I know how to create it from Azure Portal?
Yes, as mentioned by #juunas, the service principle key is also named client secret, you can create it in your App Registration -> Certificates & secrets in the portal, follow this link.
For the Forbidden error, it means your service principal does not have the correct RBAC role in your subscription, just navigate to your subscription in the portal -> add an RBAC role e.g. Contributor for your service principal like below, details here.
You can create scopes in Databricks backed by Azure Keyvault instead of using the Databricks CLI. However, when you try to create a Scope, an obscure error message (with a spelling mistake!) is shown. It appears as not many people encounter this error:
"Internal error happened while granting read/list permission to Databricks ervice principal to KeyVault: XYZ"
Setting the Manage Principal to All Users does NOT help in this case.
I figured that this was a Service Principal issue in Azure AD. This particular user I was logged on to Databricks with was not an AD contributer and only had Contributer role on the Databricks and Keyvault service. I could not find any default Object ID in AD for Databricks so I assumed it was creating a service principal on the fly and connecting Databricks with Keyvault (I might be wrong here - it might already exist in AD when you enable the Databricks resource provider).
Logging in as an Admin with the rights to create service principals solved the problem. After that you can see in the Key Vault the DB service principal used in for the key retrieval:
As mentioned by #rcabr in his above comment there is already an SP by name 'AzureDatabricks' inside Enterprize Application, you need to get the object id details and add it in the access policy of the key vault. With this, the Databricks will be able to access the KeyVault
When using Azure Key Vault management REST API or cmdlet Add-AzureRmKeyVaultNetworkRule to allow a virtual network to access a key vault, I get the following error:
The client '{guid}' with object id '{guid}' does not have authorization to perform
action 'microsoft.network/virtualnetworks/taggedTrafficConsumers/validate/action'
over scope '/subscriptions/{guid}/resourcegroups/{resource-group}/providers/microsoft.network/virtualnetworks/{vnet-name}/taggedTrafficConsumers/Microsoft.KeyVault'
What is wrong?
Your subscription is not giving Microsoft.KeyVault resource provider permission to access Microsoft.Network resources. The fix is to register your subscription to Microsoft.KeyVault again:
Register-AzureRmResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.KeyVault
This will add required permissions for Microsoft.KeyVault and Microsoft.Network integrations, including the ability to limit access to a given Virtual Network.
For more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/resource-manager-supported-services
This are the steps required to solve it:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-providers-and-types#azure-portal
You just need to register the resource provider in the subscription, this doesn't only happens with Key Vault, my issue was with Sql Server as well :)
So I leave this answer here in case someone else needs it
This feels like a bug/limitation in both the Azure Portal and Azure CLI. We ran into this when trying to allow a subnet of a VNET in subscription X to access a storage account in subscription Y.
For us, the workaround was to look-up the name of the service principal that was mentioned in the error in our Azure AD directory using the "Search your tenant" box on the "Overview" tab of the directory (NOT the subscription but the Azure AD directory for the tenant). The name of the SP turned out to be "Storage Resource Provider" (yours may be different, so that's why you need to look it up in Azure AD), so we granted that SP "Owner" role (temporarily) in the other subscription. Then provisioning worked!
There should be a finer-grained set of permissions you need to grant than just "Owner" but when we granted just the "validate" permission, we got a new error:
Failed to save firewall and virtual network settings for storage account 'XXX'. Error: An operation is currently performing on this storage account that requires exclusive access.
Also experienced this error when adding a vnet to a storage-account in another subscription.
Fixed by adding a storage-account to the subscription using the portal. Then the vnet could be added to the storage-account.
Note: the result is the same as #fernacolo does with a powershell command.
I am trying to add the Azure credentials (Microsoft Azure Service Principal) on jenkins server under
Credentials -> System -> Global Credentials.
Copied the subscription ID from my App service and added all the necessary information. When I click Verify Service Principal, I am getting The subscription id is not valid error.
I am pretty sure the subscription Id is correct. Am I missing something else?
I have faced similar issue and the solution is adding required permissions to the service principal which we are using to authenticate.
With out any permissions on subscription it cannot validate.
Even though i get that error i was able to save the settings and connect to Azure. It is definitely weird.
You will need to give the service principal access to your subscription by assigning a role to it. To assign a role to the service principal, go to the subscription level > access control (IAM) > add role assignment.
For Jenkins, I actually assign an owner or a contributor role to it. But you can choose the whatever role is appropriate for your use case. You can find more details about service principals here
I have faced a similar error and I resolved it by using the subscription ID of the resource group where I created a Service Principal
