To be able to complete all the steps in this article, you need to have a role in your subscription that has the following permissions:
- Create and manage Azure resources
- Manage user access to Azure resources (including granting and delegating permissions)
Common roles that meet this requirement are Owner, Account admin, or the combination of User Access Administrator and Contributor. For a complete explanation of roles and permissions, including what permissions are included with other roles, visit Classic subscription administrator roles, Azure roles, and Azure AD roles in the Azure RBAC documentation.
To view your role in your subscription, visit the subscriptions page in the Azure portal (you can use this link or look for Subscriptions with the portal search bar). Look for the name of the subscription you are using, and view your role for it in the My role column:

If you find that the value is Contributor, or another role that doesn't have the required permissions described above, you can contact the user on your subscription that does have these permissions (such as a subscription Owner or Account admin) and proceed in one of the following ways:
- Request that they complete the steps in this article on your behalf
- Request that they elevate your role on the subscription so that you will have the permissions to proceed yourself. Whether this is appropriate depends on your organization and your role within it.
