Feeling Lost with Azure Table Service Properties! Can Anyone Help?

Question

I've been struggling for hours to get the table service properties using Azure SDK, but I keep hitting a wall. I'm starting to feel really frustrated and defeated. I know I'm not alone in this — I just need some guidance to find my way out.

Here's my code:

from azure.data.tables import TableServiceClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

account_url = "https://.table.core.windows.net"

table_service_client = TableServiceClient(endpoint=account_url, credential=DefaultAzureCredential())

with TableServiceClient(endpoint=account_url, credential=DefaultAzureCredential()) as table_service_client:
    properties = table_service_client.get_service_properties()
    print(f"{properties}")

Things I’ve Checked:

Endpoint URL: I made sure the URL is correct and removed the table name at the end.

Permissions: I assigned the right roles and permissions to my storage account and table.

Azure Credential: Verified my credentials are correct and I can get a token successfully.

Despite all these checks, I'm still getting a "403 AuthorizationPermissionMismatch" error, and it's driving me crazy!

Console Output of Error:

Response status: 403
ErrorCode: AuthorizationPermissionMismatch
This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission.

I feel stuck and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Has anyone faced this before or have any ideas? Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Hello Yash,

Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I understand that you are receiving 403 AuthorizationPermissionMismatch error which indicates that you don’t have the necessary permissions.

Please ensure that you are able to access the Extension Microsoft_AAD_IAM blade if not, it could mean that the admin of the tenant has not given the permission to access the "Admin Portal" with a non-administrator account. This can happen even if you are an Owner of the subscription since the IAM policy of the Entra ID/Azure AD tenant will still block you in this scenario.

If this is the case, the admin needs to either set "restrict access to Microsoft Entra ID administration center" to "No" or grant you an admin role.

Also consider the following to troubleshoot the issue,

Sometimes this issue occurs if there is something blocking the network connection. If this is the case, this issue can often be resolved by whitelisting the required endpoints as mentioned in our Microsoft documentation: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/azure-portal-safelist-urls?tabs=public-cloud#azure-portal-framework
Also do check if you have all the required RBAC roles To request the user delegation key, you must assign to a security principal the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/generateUserDelegationKey action. The following built-in RBAC roles include the Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/blobServices/generateUserDelegationKey action, either explicitly or as part of a wildcard definition: Contributor, Storage Account Contributor, Storage Blob Data Contributor, Storage Blob Data Owner, Storage Blob Data Reader, Storage Blob Delegator. reference document: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/create-user-delegation-sas#assign-permissions-with-rbac
Please try updating the browser to the latest version and check using the Chrome browser instead of Edge to see if you get the same results.
Please try to load the "Entra ID" blade from the Search bar by searching for "Microsoft Entra ID" and confirm if you get the same results that way.

Additional information: When using Azure Storage account shared key auth, HTTP requests sent by this library will generate a string to sign based on subset of HTTP headers and finally sign with account key. Modifying headers after the signing will lead to auth errors.

Authorize requests to Azure Storage : https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/authorize-requests-to-azure-storage

403 is seen when authorizing with a shared key because "All authorized requests must include the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timestamp for the request." Information about this can be found in Authorize with Shared Key and also you can try using storage explorer to generate SAS with the same configuration and see if it works.

@Yash Firstly, Apologies for the delay response!

Plan 1:

You should provide access to his user account. Have them grant the below roles on the Azure Storage account level:

Storage Table Data Contributor: Use to grant read/write/delete permissions to Table storage resources.

Contributor: Grants full access to manage all resources, but does not allow you to assign roles in Azure RBAC, manage assignments in Azure Blueprints, or share image galleries.
Plan 2: Also ensure that they don't have any Networking --> Firewall, VNET and Private Endpoint enabled. WIthin the Azure Storage Account --> Networking --> Enabled All Network
