Error handling request for AAD #20005

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a user, permissions errors may be confusing when working with RBAC systems in az ad and could be improved to provide meaningful guidance to address permissions in the correct location. E.g. Azure vs AAD permissions and User account vs Service Principal account.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • If the user signed in to the cli with a service principal, if the call to the Graph returns insufficient permissions the cli could say
    “you signed in with a service principal, either sign in as a user or add the service principal to a role in AAD that has permissions
    to create service principals (like Application Developer)”.
  • If the user signed in to the cli with a user, the cli could say “add your user account to a role in AAD that has permissions to
    create service principals (like Application Developer)”.

Describe alternatives you've considered
