Virtual Machines not accessible in Azure

Question

I am in an organization on azure with the following roles:

Another member with the same roles created an azure VM that I can not see in my virtual machine interface. It always takes me to this window whenever I search Virtual Machine.

When I access the link shared by the other person to access the page, it will lead me to this error page:

Having the role of Global admin, should not I be able to access everything in the organization setup?

This is the current license of the organization

Note that, Azure AD roles are different from Azure RBAC roles.

You have Azure AD roles that will only help you to manage Azure AD resources like users, groups, applications etc., and won't give access for Azure resources.

To manage Azure resources like virtual machines, storage accounts etc., you need Azure RBAC roles that links with subscription.

I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got below results:

I created one Azure AD user named Test user and assigned same roles as you like below:

When I signed in with above Test user account, I got the same screen as you like below:

I got the same error as you when I tried to access virtual machine like below:

You can check with other members what Azure RBAC role they have under virtual machine as below:

To resolve the error, get yourself assigned with the same RBAC role the other member has, under your subscription like below:

After getting that role, you can access the virtual machine successfully like below:
