An account was mistakenly removed from Access control (IAM), resulting in the server being unreachable. What steps can be taken to restore access to the server?

Please check with the subscription owners within your tenant to request that the account which was mistakenly removed to be re-added to the appropriate IAM role on the affected resource.
Could you please let us know which type of server you are referring.

2025-05-08T11:34:15.0233333+00:00 Could you please specify which resource (e.g., VM, database, storage) and its name or ID you are referring to? This is what appear when I login to Microsoft Azure Sponsorship | Access control (IAM)
The client 'live.com#example.com' with object id 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Authorization/classicadministrators/read' over scope '/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or the scope is invalid. If access was recently granted, please refresh your credentials.
