You are unauthorized to view these contents.

Hello Gregory Katz,

I understand you're seeing the message "You are unauthorized to view these contents" while accessing Azure Key Vault like this:

This usually means the signed-in user doesn’t have permission to access the contents of the vault.

To check this, open the Key Vault in the Azure portal and navigate to the Access configuration tab. Under the Permission model, you'll see whether the vault is using Role-based access control (RBAC) or Vault access policy:

If it's role-based, go to the Access control (IAM) section and assign roles like Key Vault Administrator or Key Vault Contributor to user based on your requirement:

If it's using access policies instead, open the Access policies tab and create one access policy with required permissions (like Get or List) to access secrets, keys, or certificates and assign it to user.

Once permissions are updated, try signing out and signing back in or refreshing your session.

For more information, you can refer this Microsoft Article.

Let me know if you have any other questions or need any further assistance.

Hope this clarifies things a bit!

Hello @Gregory Katz
If I understand correctly you are trying to view keys/secrets/certificates. Based on the error message it looks you don't have enough permissions to do.
To resolve you need to Provide access to Key Vault keys, certificates, and secrets with Azure role-based access control this will allows users to manage keys, secrets, and certificates permissions.
Or else, you can also Assign a Key Vault access policy so that you can perform different operations on Key Vault secrets, keys, and certificates.
If this is not the case, for better understanding, kindly help me with more details like when this error occurs and relevant error screen shots, do you have any keys, certificates and secrets in your vault.

Hope this helps. Do let us know your queries by responding in the comments section.
