Can not create a Run as account and I do have owner rights in the subscription - azure

I found out that you need to have owner rights of your subscription to add a Run as account in an Automation account. But as I search in my services I can see that my role inside the subscription is as an owner. Still i can't create a run as account because i don't have enough permissions ?
Is it enough to only have the owner rights of the subscriptions or do I need any more permissions ?

The issue was caused by you do not have the permission to create the AAD App.
If you want to configure Run As accounts, you also need to have the permission to create the AAD App.
For more details about the permissions, refer to this link.

Except for the permissions equivalent to the Owner role for Microsoft. Automation resources, you need to check these:
In the Azure portal, under Azure Active Directory > MANAGE > App registrations, if App registrations is set to Yes, non-admin users in your Azure AD tenant can register Active Directory applications. If App registrations is set to No, the user who performs this action must be a global administrator in Azure AD.

Azure subscription not showing up for a new user added to the active directory

I have added a new user to the Azure active directory which is associated with Azure subscription. The user is added with the Global Administrator role.
However, when the user tries to login to the portal, no subscription is showing up. Tried logging off and logging in multiple times, but the subscription is not showing up.
Having rights to Azure AD doesn't necessarily give you rights to an Azure Subscription; they are separate. You can either Elevate access for Global Admins to manage your Azure subscriptions, or you can go the the Azure Subscription IAM settings and add the new user to a role.

What privilege's do need to create Azure Active Directory App?

My Azure account is under company's AD, and once i tried to create an App using Azure Devops, when trying to create New Service connection, this error pops up,
What permission do my account needs to perform this action ?
Thanks in advance.
You need the "Creator" permission:
Members of this role can create the service connection in the project. Contributors are added as members by default
Please find more information in the Microsoft documentation User permissions
Microsoft documentation for Manage service connections
The problem lies in not having privileges to create app registrations in the Azure Active Directory tenant. There are several roles that have permission for this operation. According to the docs it also depends on whether non-admin users can create app registrations.
Some Built-in roles that can be used are Application Administrator
Users in this role can create and manage all aspects of enterprise applications, application registrations, and application proxy settings. Note that users assigned to this role are not added as owners when creating new application registrations or enterprise applications.
or Application Developer
Users in this role can create application registrations when the "Users can register applications" setting is set to No. This role also grants permission to consent on one's own behalf when the "Users can consent to apps accessing company data on their behalf" setting is set to No. Users assigned to this role are added as owners when creating new application registrations.

Is it possible to use DevOps to deploy to an Azure App Service if I don't have access to Azure Active Directory?

I have a Azure For Student subscription through my university and I'm trying to work out how to deploy an Angular app to an Azure App Service using Azure Pipelines.
In my Release pipelines, in the step to deploy to an Azure App Service, I have to select a subscription. When I click Authorize I get the below error.
Seems I can't create a service connection because it requires access to Active Directory. I'm on my university's tenant so I don't have access to it.
Is there a way around this I can use Azure Pipelines if I don't have access to create accounts in Active Directory?
As the error explicityly says, There's no way to deploy this without being a Global Admin or Owner on the Azure Active Directory tenant.
Insufficient privileges to complete the operation.Ensure that the user
has permission to create an Azure Active Directory application.
This typically occurs when the system attempts to create an application in Azure AD on your behalf and this is a permission issue that may be due to the following causes:
The user has only guest permission in the directory
The user is not authorized to add applications in the directory
(1) If you only have guest permission in AAD ,please contact the admin to grant the minimum additional permissions to you. Let the admin to set Guest user permissions are limited to No.
(2) If you are the member of AAD, and just not be authorized to add applications in the directory. Go User settings, then change Users can register applications to Yes under App registrations section.
For details ,please refer to this troubleshoot document and similar ticket.

Azure Add App Registrations you don't have Permission

I'm trying to register an application in Azure following these instructions in the link below.
I go to "App Registrations > New Registration" get the error "Access Denied You don’t have permission to register applications".
My user permission in the Azure Portal is Owner.
I can't find what permissions I need to set for my user so I can add a new app registration.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/develop/howto-create-service-principal-portal
Owner role is an Azure RBAC role and is not the same as Azure AD directory roles which you need to register apps.
Azure RBAC roles apply to subscriptions and resources within them.
Azure AD tenants are above subscriptions.
Your Azure AD admin needs to give you at minimum Application Developer directory role.
Since I had access to more directory's I was just on the wrong one.
So in my case that was my problem and by switching directory to the correct one where I had access my problem was solved.
First I checked that I was given the access mentioned above.

Managing Default Azure Directory

I signed up for an azure subscription and a default directory was provisioned for my subscription.
i cannot manage the default directory (e.g. create user or groups) via the azure portal. the portal replies with: "You do not have permission to access these resources."
while i understand that a admin role for an azure subscription is not the same as the admin role to manage an azure active directory; i am unable to find any MS guidance on how to assign the AD global admin role to my azure admin/subscription identity.
You have to be a Global Administrator in the directory to create users. Oddly though, you should already be one. When you sign-up for an Azure subscription you are automatically added to the default directory as a Global Administrator. At least that is how it used to work - perhaps it changed.
Anyway, this has the information you need and should get you going.
