How do I get the Owner role back in my Azure subscription?

Question

Accidentally I deleted my Owner role (and the only role I had) in my Azure subscription and now it seems that my account cannot be used as I cannot add roles, nor create resource groups and not even create a support request.

Edit:
After this, I created another user in Active Directory named Daniel (sample@Dani ) and assigned it the Global administrator role.

Then I logged into the portal with this new user (sample@Dani ) and navigated through Active Directory > Users > selected affected user > Assigned roles and there I assigned all existing roles, but I don't see any changes, and if I go to Azure role assignments the portal it doesn't show my subscription.

I'm not sure if I'm missing a step.

Hi @Daniel Sandoval ,

you need a user with Global Administrator role to get back the owner role for your user.
Is there any other "Global Admin" available in your AAD?

Thank you for your post!

When assigning Azure RBAC roles to a user, you'll need to be signed into a user with Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permissions, such as a User Access Administrator or Owner. However, since you accidentally removed your Owner RBAC role from your Azure subscription, you'll need another User admin or Owner within your Subscription to re-assign the role.

Find Subscription Admins:

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thank you for your time and patience throughout this issue.
