How to add a new user to azure directory with "Owner" role at root (/) scope

Rabia Mehta 11

How can we add Owner role for a user with root level scope ?

When trying with command - az role assignment create --role 'Owner' --scope '/' --assignee-object-id <user-object-id> ,
following error is seen -
The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider.

Thank you for your post!

Error Message:
The request did not have a subscription or a valid tenant level resource provider.

Based off your error message, can you try:

az role assignment create --role 'Owner' --scope '/' --assignee-object-id <user-object-id> --subscription <Name or ID of subscription>

If you're still having issues, can you make sure that you have an active subscription for the user that you're trying to assign this role to.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.

Thank you. But the issue was not resolved with this command either.
Instead, running the equivalent commands on PowerShell helped.
