(AuthorizationFailed) The client 'live.com#bernardt_nel@yahoo.com' with object id '148614d9-5c95-47fd-b6d0-ae7ed1ecb420' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/read' over scope '/subscriptions/8b6001cd-a329-4999-8dbb-3b3261bb100a/resourceGroups/learn-bd6e91d6-927b-4941-81f3-be6587328609/providers/Microsoft.Network' or the scope is invalid.

## Expected behavior
This should work by default as this is a MS Learning Course!?
## Is this specific to Cloud Shell?
no, even on the Azure Portal I do not have auths to create resources.
## Interface information
Via Microsoft Learn using Windows 11 / Edge.

Hi Bernardt Nel (@BernardtNel), I'm sorry you're having permission issues completing the course. As this doesn't seem to be an issue with Cloud Shell, I'm not sure I can help. However I see at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/az-104-manage-compute-resources/?source=learn that Administrator access is needed. Do you know if you're an Admin on your Azure subscription?
