The Vault '' not found within subscription

The Vault '' not found within subscription even though we have access to the subscription. I am following the documentation and trying to grant access to our Azure Key Vault:

Grant access to your key vault

When I try the command to create an access policy for our Key Vault that grants secret permission to our user account, we are getting the following error:

Key Vault Not Found Within Subscription

We tried adding the --debug command as follows; however, we're still unclear as to why our Key Vault is not found under the Subscription ID in our Azure portal:

Key Vault Not Found

We used az login, and it looks like we have access to the correct subscription based off of the output below since the "id" matches our Subscription ID:

az login subscription

Edit: I found how it's suppose to work!

First, you need to make sure you are logged into the correct subscription. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/context-persistence?view=azps-8.2.0

Context is often picked by default and does not always go where you want it to. You can run Get-AzSubscription to check whether the correct subscription is listed.

Originally, when I ran Get-AzSubscription in PowerShell, I got the following error:

enter image description here

Turns out you need to install the Az module in PowerShell. You can also try running the command instead: az account tenant list && az account show --output table

Since context is often picked by default and does not always go where you want it to, you can set the default subscription as follows:

After logging into Azure, using e.g. Connect-AzAccount in PowerShell (version 7+), or whichever command you use to login, you can use the Update-AzConfig -DefaultSubscriptionForLogin <> command in PowerShell to update the default subscription so that in the future, it will always choose your specified default subscription.

Example of 3 different ways to change the default subscription:

az account set --subscription "XX-XXXXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX-XXX"

Set-AzContext -Subscription 'XX-XXXXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX-XXX'

Update-AzConfig -DefaultSubscriptionForLogin YourSubscriptionNameHere

You can check to make sure the default was changed by using the command:

az account show --output table
