Azure Account Setup

1. Sign up for a free Azure account and create an Azure Subscription.
2. Check that you have the necessary permissions:
   • Your Azure account must have Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permissions, such as Role Based Access Control Administrator, User Access Administrator, or Owner.
   • Your Azure account also needs Microsoft.Resources/deployments/write permissions on the subscription level.

You can view the permissions for your account and subscription by following the steps below:

• Navigate to the Azure Portal and click on Subscriptions under 'Navigation'.
• Select the subscription you are using for this accelerator from the list.
  • If you try to search for your subscription and it does not come up, make sure no filters are selected.
• Select Access control (IAM) and you can see the roles that are assigned to your account for this subscription.
  • If you want to see more information about the roles, you can go to the Role assignments tab and search by your account name and then click the role you want to view more information about.
