az role assignment error when using –assignee

Written by James McDonald

September 6, 2019

So I created a Security group in Azure Active Directory named “Development” and then tried to assign it to the “Website Contributor” role with less than stellar results

But going to Azure AD and getting the object ID for the “Development” group and changing fro --assignee to --assignee-object-id did the trick

Seethe example output below

Jamess-MacBook-Pro:~ jmcd$ az role assignment create --assignee "Development" --role "Website Contributor"
Operation failed with status: 'Bad Request'. Details: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://graph.windows.net/78c7859b-b3cd-442b-812f-c0baad4689a3/getObjectsByObjectIds?api-version=1.6

Jamess-MacBook-Pro:~ jmcd$ az role assignment create --assignee-object-id "18b7ac1b-3334-403d-86f4-976b9ef75681" --role "Website Contributor"

}
