Users unable to see VMs unless they are an Administrator

We are attempting to provide VMs to Guest users. We do this by creating the VM and allocating the user the the "Azure role assignment" of "Virtual Machine Contributor" on that resource. We are using Bastion server to connect.

Intended users cannot see the VM inside their Azure portal.

If we make them an Administrator, they can see it. But that is not what we want.

Any advice would be welcome.

@DavidWalker-2150 Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting your here!!

Ideally Virtua Machine contributor role can perform all the operations mentioned in this document
i.e. Create and Manage Virtual Machine and users will able to view the VM's in the Azure portal. However, the user cannot connect using Bastion host.

In order to make a connection, the following roles are required:

Reader role on the virtual machine
Reader role on the NIC with private IP of the virtual machine
Reader role on the Azure Bastion resource

Hope this helps!
Kindly let us know if the above helps or you need further assistance on this issue.
