Hi all,

I'm a bit stuck with this part of my Azure AS journey. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a model that I have built out in Visual Studio and I am successfully deploying to Azure AS. I am now trying to add my power users to give them access to the model.

I can add a Role in Visual Studio and deploy that, however I am unable to add members to that role, the following error is presented when I try and add any members to the role. I am able to search for users & groups successfully, both in Azure AD and on-prem AD, however it does not let me save the role with any members added to the role.

If I save the role (with no members) and deploy to Azure AS, I am then able to connect to AS with SSMS and add members to the role. However this is not ideal as the members are removed every time I deploy the model again from Visual Studio.

What am I missing here?
