I am trying to setup Azure DevOps 'Release' Pipeline, when I am trying to add Azure Resource Manager service Connection, I am getting error like 'Failed to create an app in Azure Active Directory. Error: Insufficient privileges to complete the operation. For troubleshooting refer to link. '
My Organization assigned me an Azure Professional Subscription account. When I click the Active Directory, I am getting error like 'Access denied. You do not have access. Looks like you don't have access to this content. To get access, please contact the owner.'
What sort of user role, the organization needs to assign to me so that I can setup the Azure DevOps Release Pipeline.
The company can't give me the role as global administrator or user account administrator to ADFS, because of security reason. What is the appropriate ADFS user role permission my company should assign to me ?
There's no way to do this without being a Global Admin or Owner on the Azure Active Directory tenant. You need to request access from your organization or else make your own account with your own subscription and publish the application there.
You need to have the Application Administrator role in the AD in order to create the service connections.
After, enabling the Application Administrator role from the Azure Active Directory roles, I was able to create the service connection properly.
We are trying to create a service connection named, xyz-serviceconn-verify. Without any error message, now I could create service connections.
Here, you could see the created service connection, xyz-serviceconn-verify.
Good Luck :)

This error is coming because you do not have sufficient privileges in your AAD, you do not have Write permission for the selected Azure subscription when the system attempts to assign the Contributor role.
It worked for me when I tried to create my own new AD, and then I move the subscriptions I got from the company to this AD (it is just for dev and test).
If you want it to work on production, maybe you should ask the administrator to create a new app registration for you and he should grant all permission to you inside this app (I guess).
Best regards,

I'm a Microsoft employee and I'm new to Azure. I would like to deploy a Service Principal on my internal Microsoft Azure subscription. Using the Azure CLI, when I run
az ad sp create-for-rbac --name $spn_name
I get the error "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation." The documentation here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/create-an-azure-service-principal-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest) makes it seem like I don't have Azure Active Directory configured properly.
I don't have Azure Active Directory on my internal subscription. Do I need to add this? If so, how can I set this up on my Microsoft internal account? Is there a way to create a Service Principal without Azure Active Directory?
Normal user without Admin roles also will be able to create a service principle even with Azure CLI. If the scenario is that you are creating a service principle from an application then you need application permissions. Please go through similar question which helps in fixing your issue.
Does not require you to have administrator permissions.
If your account's User type is just a Member in the tenant. Make sure in the portal -> AAD -> User settings -> Users can register applications is Yes.
It seems that the issue was that my SP name was not unique. Changing the name solved this problem for me.
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.
I am trying to run an Azure Resource Group Deployment task in Azure Pipelines. I have deployed an Azure Pipelines self-hosted agent on an Azure VM running Windows, and in my Azure DevOps organization I have set up an Azure Resource Manager service connection to a VM with a managed service identity.
However, I get the following error when trying to configure my Azure Resource Group Deployment task with my service connection with managed identity:
GetUserAccessToken: Failed to obtain an access token of identity . AAD returned silent failure.
Screenshot:
I have already verified that I granted access (Contributor) to the VM's managed identity to the target resource group:
The service connection is also scoped to the Azure subscription:
Any help on diagnosing this issue is appreciated. Thanks!
Failed to obtain an access token typically occur when your session has expired.
To resolve these issues:
Sign out of Azure Pipelines or TFS.
Open an InPrivate or incognito browser window and navigate to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/team-services/.
If you are prompted to sign out, do so.
Sign in using the appropriate credentials.
Choose the organization you want to use from the list.
Select the project you want to add the service connection to.
Create the service connection you need by opening the Settings page. Then, select Services > New service connection > Azure Resource Manager.

In case this is useful to anyone else, I had a similar issue when modifying service connections through Azure DevOps. The solution provided by Charlie Brown pointed me in the right direction: The user in AAD isn't automatically added to the Azure DevOps Enterprise Application, so if you run into this it may mean that you need to add the user or group that's trying to access it through DevOps.
In my case I just added myself as and owner and user through the Azure Portal -> Azure Active Directory -> Enterprise Applications -> Azure DevOps.
I didn't have to create another user, nor modify anything with MFA.
It appears that the issue comes about because it is the user account authenticated to Azure DevOps that is retrieving subscription information. Azure DevOps is not using the managed identity to retrieve the subscription information.
In particular, my original Azure DevOps user account had MFA turned on to authenticate to an Azure subscription (e.g. portal.azure.com), but did not have MFA turned on to authenticate to Azure DevOps (e.g. dev.azure.com/). I think that this was causing the issue when failing to get an access token:
I created a different user account in my Azure AD, gave it access to my Azure DevOps organization, and made sure that this new user account had Reader permissions over the target subscription and did not have MFA turned on. This resolved the issue of getting subscription info when using managed identity:
My scenario getting this error was adding a Service Connection to a Management Group in Azure DevOps
GetUserAccessToken: Failed to obtain an access token of identity
{{GUID}}. AAD returned silent failure.
Fix for me was adding my account as a Project Collection Admin in DevOps... details below:
Tried every permission possible ... GA, ROOT Mgmt Group Owner (via AAD setting), target Mgmt Group Owner, Subscription Owner, App Administrator... In devops i am a project admin and i have Admin security role in service connections.
Interesting diff i have here, my Azure AD home tenant is different from my Azure Subscription AD tenant (i am a B2B Guest).
I actually tried to use a different DevOps tenant that has an AAD tied to the Azure Subscription tenant and it WORKED :( This lead me to diving further into what is different. Aside from the DevOps->AAD link, I am also COLLECTION admin on the working one, and only a project admin on the failing one. I made sure I had Management Group Owner rights and then added my account as a Project Collection Admin - WORKED!

I want to add three wordpress-based web apps to my currently existing Azure Service Plan. I have a Premium plan (P1V2), whose location is marked as East US 2, and has the appropriate Resource groups created.
However, when it prompts me to select a Subscription for my app and I do, I get this error:
You do not have correct permissions to add apps to this app service plan
Which appears directly next to the default App Service Plan associated with it.
I have global administrator access on my account, so permissions should not be a problem,but I'm still getting this error. How can I fix it?
See screenshot of error:

The global administrator is a role in Azure AD, not represents you have the direct permissions in the subscription.
Please follow the steps below:
1.Navigate to the Azure Active Directory-> Properties in the portal, make sure the setting as below is Yes.
2.Navigate to the subscription which you want to do the operations -> Access control (IAM), add your account as an Owner, then the error will be fixed.
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.
