Unable to setup alerts in Azure App Insights

Question

I'm unable to setup alerts in my Application Insights instance on Azure from portal. This is the error I receive:

Failed to create alert rule 'XWRANotification'. The client 'sk@org.com' with object id 'xxx-3525-48c6-97ad-xxx' does not have authorization to perform action 'microsoft.insights/scheduledqueryrules/write' over scope '/subscriptions/xxx-d404-4748-a3e8-09afe0bbea49/resourceGroups/RG-XWRA-01/providers/microsoft.insights/scheduledqueryrules/XWRANotification' or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials..

I've following access configured for my user on this App Insights instance:

• Contributor
• Application Insights Component Contributor
• Monitoring Contributor

Answer 1

Based on our comments, in addition to the 3 roles you listed, you need another Contributor role for the resource group which you will create your action group in.

If you already have this role, you should be able to setup the alerts. As it suggested: If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.
