Fixed – authorizationpermissionmismatch Azure Blob Storage

We got the below error while trying to transfer files to Azure Blob Storage using AzCopy

INFO: Authentication failed, it is either not correct, or expired, or does not have the correct permission -> github.com/Azure/azure-storage-blob-go/azblob.newStorageError, /home/vsts/go/pkg/mod/github.com/!azure/azure-storage-blob-go@v0.10.1-0.20201022074806-8d8fc11be726/azblob/zc_storage_error.go:42

===== RESPONSE ERROR (ServiceCode=AuthorizationPermissionMismatch) =====

Description=This request is not authorized to perform this operation using this permission.

Time:2020-11-22T16:51:42.0459952Z, Details:

   Code: AuthorizationPermissionMismatch

   PUT https://storageaccountrg9b58.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer1/Customers/CIF1/Sample1.txt?timeout=901

Here we were using Azure Active Directory to provide authorization credentials to AzCopy

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azcopy-v10#option-1-use-azure-active-directory

The account (service principal) we were using was having the Owner Role

To fix this issue, we assigned the

Storage Blob Data Contributor role to the account.

Retrying again after some time fixed the issue.

Points to keep in mind –

Hope it helps..
