I'm trying to remove the permission to the user on my azure tenant to create a new subscription.
The only way a find is the but the GlobalReader role in active directory when I create the user.
But with this method, the user can see the active directory same I block it with users' permission.
I also try to create a rbac in my tenant root in my management group. But when I but a reader role the user can create a new subscription again.
Azure RBAC just for control Azure subscription resource access here, it will not work for Azure subscription creation.
For creating Azure subscriptions ,based on this official doc, only users who have billing roles:
Invoice section owner , Invoice section contributor , Azure
subscription creator
Will be able to create Azure subscriptions.
Billing roles belongs to your billing account . This doc describes the relationship with billing account with your subscriptions well.
Hope it helps .

I have created a new Dev Azure AD in Azure , When i switch Directories to this new AD, i am unable to create a subscription under the Dev AD Tenant, The Error message is;
"You don't have permission to create a subscription for this billing account, contact the billing account owners."
I have worked with the Billing accountenter image description here owner to verify i have all the required permissions, still yet i can't create this resource. Am an owner on the Dev AD Tenant, can there be any other reason why am unable to create this resource?
I know how to create service principal for app registration. However, what is "Azure Service principal account" for read-only Azure access?
The requirement is to execute API or make API call from a framework or run the command for Azure Infra and Service validation.
The additional details:
account with id and secret key?
Account with IAM privilege to read config data from Azure services?
Access to cloud providers API for config validation?
Is there any stpes to do this? It will be really helpful if the above details can be done from Azure portal.
On Work around To create the azure service principal for read only access You can try with using the Azure CLI
. The Reader role is more restrictive, with read-only access. For more information on Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and roles, see this document RBAC: Built-in roles.
When restricting a service principal's permissions, the Contributor role should be removed.
This example adds the Reader role and removes the Contributor role:
az role assignment create --assignee APP_ID --role Reader
az role assignment delete --assignee APP_ID --role Contributor
Note: If your account doesn't have permission to assign a role, you see an error message that your account does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write'. Contact your Azure Active Directory admin to manage roles.
Microsoft recommends to use the Contributor role at minimum for a service principal. This role has full permissions to read and write to an Azure account.
For more information refer this Microsoft doc :
I accidentally deleted the only azure owner role of my subscription. Any idea how can I get that restore? I can only login now at azure portal and when I click on subscriptions it is keep loading, nothing is coming.
I have resolved this myself. As I am also a global administrator so I created an Azure AD User, assigned the global admin role to it. Login to azure portal with that new account, and re-assigned the Owner role to my original account which I accidentally deleted. Now Its Working fine :)
The same thing happened with me today and even after being "Global Admin" to Azure AD, I was unable to modify the permissions as the "Role Assignment" options were appearing disabled.
These are the steps that I followed:
I logged in to Azure Portal with the MS Live ID(#outlook.com) using which we got the MS Azure subscription registered(Root ID or Account Owner ID).
Then went to the Azure subscription --> IAM --> Add Role Assignment. This option was enabled this time!
To be on safer side now, created a Security Group in Azure AD with 3 Azure Administrators and then made this Group as "Owner" to the Azure Subscription.
I'm trying to move an VSTS/DevOps instance from one azure environment to another. Is this possible and if it is how do I do this?
So for example Azure environment "A" owned by me has resource group "mydevops" with "devops" instance.
I want to move this to Azure environment "B" which is owned by a different person/account perhaps if needed including resource group.
You need following permission to link and unlink Azure Subscription:
Project collection administrator or organization owner permissions
The owner or contributor role on your Azure subscription
So you need to have the owner or contributor role on both Azure A and Azure B to do this. Ohterwise, you need to add Azure B's owner to your Azure Devops account and give him PCA permission and ask him to link the subscription.
As I understand when a role is created in azure are only available in the assignable scope they are defined with. When in a new subscription I would not be able to call the role or assign it.
If I were to create a new role in the current subscription with the same name, it would throw an error as the role already exists.
Is there a way around this ?
So, I don't think you are correct.
"Custom roles are stored in an Azure AD tenant and can be shared across all subscriptions that use that tenant as the Azure AD directory for the subscription."
So you can assign that role across all subscriptions a tenant has. So effectively that means you don't have to recreate your role for every subscription your tenant has. And if subscriptions are assigned to different tenant you can create custom roles with the same name for each of those.
