Hello, I can assign Azure policy without any issues. But when I click "Compliance," I get the error below. Thanks, in advance.

@Madhu Rao Thanks for your question. From the error provided, it seems you haven't registered Microsoft.PolicyInsights resource provider for your subscription. Also, you don't seem to have necessary permissions to register the resource provider. I would suggest you check if the Microsoft.PolicyInsights resource provider is registered or not by traversing to subscriptions - > Settings -> Resource Providers -> Search for resource provider -> Select and click on Register. Also, you must have permission to do the /register/action operation for the resource provider. The permission is included in the Contributor and Owner roles. Kindly make sure you have necessary permissions.

Hi Swathi, I have confirmed that, and the resource is registered. I am also able to unregister and re-register the resource provider.

thanks

@Madhu Rao Here is an another explanation provided by community member on the thread for the error you are receiving. Adding the same information for your reference.

"user access administrator role provides write access to the whole resource Provider Microsoft.Authorization/. Policy assignments are part of that provider thus you have permissions to create, modify and delete policy assignments with that role. Role assignments are also part of that provider. The error that is given is about registering a provider which Microsoft.PolicyInsights and user access administrator role does not have access to that resource provider thus not being able to register. This provider takes care of other policy operations like being able to get summary for compliance, executing compliance scans or remediations. You can check Resource Policy Contributor to see that the role has access to specific only Azure Policy resources in Microsoft.Authorization and also to Microsoft.PolicyInsights/."

Thanks. I think it is to do with the rights at Management Group that is causing the error. Happy to resolve this case.
