New-azroleassignment : ‘principalid’ cannot be null.
For one of the requirements, I have executed the PowerShell script below.
New-AzRoleAssignment -SignInName User2@tsinfotechnologies.onmicrosoft.com
-ResourceGroupName MyNewResGrp -RoleDefinitionName Contributor -AllowDelegationImmediately after executing the above script, I got this error, as shown in the below screenshot for your reference.
Solution
When I tried solving this error, I noticed that the SignInName “User2@tsinfotechnologies.onmicrosoft.com” doesn’t exist for me, so I got this error when I used another user that exists; I got the expected output as shown in the screenshot below. So, the main point here is to ensure that the user principal name you are using exists.
Now, I executed the same PowerShell script with the new user.
New-AzRoleAssignment -SignInName tsinfouser@fewlines4bijuhotmail.onmicrosoft.com -ResourceGroupName MyNewResGrp -RoleDefinitionName Contributor -AllowDelegationAfter executing the above script, I got the expected output successfully, as shown below.
