I'm currently trying to update my VMSS boot diagnostics with powershell, but it fails every time.

Code:

Set-AzContext -Subscription "Name of CSP Subscription"
$GETstorageaccount001 = Get-AzStorageAccount -Name "Name of storage account"  -ResourceGroupName "Name of resource group"
$storageaccount001uri = $GETstorageaccount001.Id

$GETvmss = get-azvmss -ResourceGroupName "Name of resource group"

Foreach ($scaleset in $GETvmss)
{
    Update-AzVmss -ResourceGroupName "Name of resource group" -VirtualMachineScaleSet $scaleset -VMScaleSetName $scaleset.Name -BootDiagnosticsEnabled $true -BootDiagnosticsStorageUri $storageaccount001uri
}

The error:

Update-AzVmss : The client has permission to perform action 'Microsoft.Compute/galleries/images/versions/read' on scope 
'/subscriptions/XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX/resourceGroups/YYYYYY-YYYYYY-YYYYYY/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/ZZZZZ-ZZZZZZ-ZZZZZ', however the

I don't even know where the linked subscription of 109a5e88-712a-48ae-9078-9ca8b3c81345 is coming from, that ain't mine.
This person: Azure/AKS#2040 had the same error, even same linked subscription. But it got closed.

For the permissions: I am owner of the CSP subscription.
