After being invited to a client's Azure account and having "Owner" role + access to "Azure AD user, group, service principal" granted I am able create App Services, import source from Github but when I try to create a DevOps project to start actual work I get an error:
Following the link towards more details I can see that its about permission issue but if I re-check my permissions:
It says "Owner" but the scope is: "This resource" - note that these infos are under the single Subscription that my client created, however if I click my name for detailed view on my identity I see "Guest":
What would be the proper way to grant me global permissions on my clients Azure account?
Thanks!
If you create a project, it will automatically create an AD App named like organizationname-projectname-513f22f1-befd-xxxxxxcfe90f1 in the App Registerations in your tenant.
To fix the issue, let the global admin of your tenant to modify the user settings. Navigate to the Azure Active Directory in the portal -> User settings -> set Users can register applications to Yes.
Then in the Manage external collaboration settings, set the Guest users permission are limited to No.
Besides, if you can get an administrator role, no matter the settings are, you can create the app directly.

Background: I am trying to setup my azure infrastructure to deploy my new web app. I am working with an external contractor cloud engineer and I only want her to be able to setup my cloud infrastructure.
Steps: I have 1 Subscription and 1 Resource Group. I have created a User in my organisation (so not a guest) in Azure AD - I will share these details with her.
I have put this new User inside a User Group and I have permissioned the User Group (as a Contributor) against my Resource Group. I have shared the username and password with her.
Problem: When she logs on to portal.azure.com she gets the message "Your sign-in was successful, but you don't have permission to access this resource."
Clearly I am missing something? I thought this was straightforward... alas
TIA.
Sometimes this may happen due to the internal policy, make sure to recheck them once again.
After this if you create a personal login detail separately then it will work out.
Here is the reference of Your sign-in was successful but you don't have permission to access this resource for the same above.
If the user is a guest user incase, then administrator of guest tenant will delete your account from their tenant.
Here is the Reference given by #Amanpreet Singh.
Common steps to be followed as below,
After login to the Azure portal as a Admin.
Go to Azure Active Directory
Select the All services, then Azure AD Conditional Access.
Here you can select the restriction policy and / or make sure to recheck the Assignments from the Users & Groups of various permissions for your given user.
VPN....
I switched off my VPN and it then worked just fine. No idea why but it works and I can now log straight in to the portal
I just started working with Azure Active directory and i have one simple query.
I have a customer who is the admin of azure subscription and now if he wants to give access to another user who will be tasked to Create and Managing of Azure Active Directory (Like adding/deleting users, providing access to other application) what level of Role/permission needs to be assigned to this user.
Please let me know the steps for doing this from portal or any reference link please share
For just user management an "User Administrator" role would be sufficient. As far as the applications go it may vary depending on the level of access required and so on.
Check out the Azure AD roles here.
But at the subscription level it is better that the user has an "owner" role which provides all the administrative privileges.
My company is using Azure Active Directory. We are able to login into the Azure portal using AAD.
However, we only want a handful of employees to be able to login into the portal. All other employees should be kept out.
How do I accomplish this?
You cant do that if they are part of the AAD, you can however grant them no permissions, so they wont be able to see any resources or do anything on the portal
And you really dont have to do anything to acomplish that. Those are default permissions.
To check users permissions go to the portal and navigate to Azure AD blade.
Portal => AzureAd => Users => pick user => click Azure Resources on the left
Apply the Restrict access to Azure AD administration portal setting, which will block all access unless a user has Directory Reader or higher permissions in Azure AD
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/users-default-permissions
As a Global admin:
Azure Active Directory
User Settings
Restrict access to Azure AD administration portal -> yes
Or you can just block sign in for the user in the user profile. By this, the blocked users will be denied to log in the portal.
Note: This operation requires the global admin.
I am creating a bot based on the instruction on this link but I am getting the Authorization_RequestDenied message when submitting.
Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.
Please check that your account has sufficient access to the Microsoft App
Registration Portal link below.
Open App Registration Portal
I am able to access the registration portal link.
Note that I am using a free account.
From the troubleshooting page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/bot-service-troubleshoot-general-problems#why-do-i-get-an-authorizationrequestdenied-exception-when-creating-a-bot
Why do I get an Authorization_RequestDenied exception when creating a bot?
Permission to create Azure Bot Service bots are managed through the Azure Active Directory (AAD) portal. If permissions are not properly configured in the AAD portal, users will get the Authorization_RequestDenied exception when trying to create a bot service.
First check whether you are a "Guest" of the directory:
Sign-in to Azure portal.
Click All services and search for active.
Select Azure Active Directory.
Click Users.
Find the user from the list and ensure that the User Type is not a Guest.
Azure Active Directory User-type
Once you verified that you are not a Guest, then to ensure that users within an active directory can create bot service, the directory administrator needs to configure the following settings:
Sign-in to AAD portal.
Go to Users and groups and select User settings.
Under App registration section, set Users can register applications to Yes. This allows users in your directory to create bot service.
Under the External users section, set Guest users permissions are limited to No. This allows guest users in your directory to create bot service.
Azure Active Directory Admin Center
Is it possible currently to make an application in my Azure AD tenant and allow customers to give it permission to alter their resource groups.
I basically want to create an web application that allows any azure resource owner to allow my application to add something to a resource group of their choosing.
I cant figure out if its required for the customer to have the global administrator role for this to work?
Is it possible to make a flow that lets the customer sign in to my webapp, and give permission for a resource group of this choose, without him being the global administrator.
Is it possible for something in the azure portal to select his resource group add allow my azure ad application to get access to his resource group, or what is needed from the customer for this to be possible?
There are two ways by which a 3rd party application can access a user's subscription:
Delegated Permission (User Impersonation): Azure Portal is a good example of that. Basically in this scenario, a user logs in into your application by authenticating herself/himself against their Azure AD and then your application makes ARM API calls on behalf of the logged in user. If the user has permission to do something, your application will do that otherwise your user will get an error.
Application Permission: This is basically more for running things in the background when the user is not logged in. Essentially this is where the concept of Service Principal comes in. In this scenario, someone with administrative privileges grant certain permissions to your application and then your application will be able to do things it is permitted to do. The user need not be present in this scenario.
Now coming to your questions:
I basically want to create an web application that allows any azure
resource owner to allow my application to add something to a resource
group of their choosing.
I cant figure out if its required for the customer to have the global
administrator role for this to work?
Yes, it is possible for your to create such a web application and the customer need not be a global administrator to use such an application. In fact, this is how we're providing Azure Subscription management in Cloud Portam. Azure Portal works the same way. When you login into Azure Portal, you only do things you have permissions to. To see this in action, just login into Azure Portal using a user who is in Reader role and try to create some resources.
Is it possible to make a flow that lets the customer sign in to my
webapp, and give permission for a resource group of this choose,
without him being the global administrator.
Yes, it is entirely possible however the permission from Azure's perspective will be at Subscription level and not at a resource group level. Again since you would be impersonating the user, the user need not give you explicit permission to access certain resources. Azure RBAC will take care of this for you.
Is it possible for something in the azure portal to select his
resource group add allow my azure ad application to get access to his
resource group, or what is needed from the customer for this to be
possible?
Yes, it is possible to do so. However in this case, the user who's granting the permission to your application should be in a role that allows her/him to perform this operation. They should have write permission on Microsoft.Authorization resource provider. However please do keep in mind that once your application (also known as Service Principal) is granted access to a resource in your user's subscription, there's no need for a user to login. You typically would want to use this approach for background process kind of applications.
