New-AzureRmRoleAssignment : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters

Question

I'm trying to change the role from an user. It seems to me that this has to be done by New-AzureRmRoleAssignment as there is no change or set command. When I try to assign a role to a user I get the message:

New-AzureRmRoleAssignment : Parameter set cannot be resolved using the specified named parameters.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -SignInName "tyler.xxxxx_xxxxx-europe.com"

The command I'm using is:

New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -SignInName "tyler.xxxxx_xxxxx-europe.com"  -RoleDefinitionid 4befb2f4-78ae-4354-9bbe-91f67ac41224 -ResourceGroupName "Default-Networking"

I copied the id's after doing a get roles.

I don't know why I get the message, can anyone give me advice?

Answer 1

That combination of arguments does not seem to be supported.

You can do it by using the role definition name instead of the id:

New-AzureRmRoleAssignment -SignInName '[email protected]' -ResourceGroupName 'resource-group-name' -RoleDefinitionName 'Reader'
