Get-AzADServicePrincipal -ObjectId $ServicePrincipal.Id
$NewRole = $null
$Scope = "/subscriptions/your subscription id/resourceGroups/userresourcegroup/providers/microsoft.media/mediaservices/your media account"

$Retries = 0;While ($NewRole -eq $null -and $Retries -le 6)
{
    # Sleep here for a few seconds to allow the service principal application to become active (usually, it will take only a couple of seconds)
    Sleep 15
    New-AzRoleAssignment -RoleDefinitionName Contributor -ServicePrincipalName $ServicePrincipal.ApplicationId -Scope $Scope | Write-Verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $NewRole = Get-AzRoleAssignment -ServicePrincipalName $ServicePrincipal.ApplicationId -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
