Error when creating group in Azure #32165
Description
Describe the bug
I am trying to follow the guide for AZ104 deploying an ARM template to Azure. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/create-azure-resource-manager-template-vs-code/2-explore-template-structure?tabs=azure-cli
When I try to create a resource group it says I do not have authorization to perform the action. It thinks I dont have permission for some reason.
Related command
az group create --name learningresource231
--location westus
Errors
(AuthorizationFailed) The client 'EMAIL' with object id 'ObjectID' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourcegroups/write' over scope '/subscriptions/ID/resourcegroups/learningresource231' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.
