We noticed that our Azure Subscription field is empty eg: 

Get-AzContext -ListAvailable 

Name                                     Account             SubscriptionName    Environment         TenantId
----                                     -------             ----------------    -----------         --------

so when I try to run on ps command, I receive an error: 

New-AzResourceGroup -Name az1rg -Location 'eastus'
New-AzResourceGroup : 'this.Client.SubscriptionId' cannot be null.

If you don't set an Azure subscription, you won't be allowed to create any Azure resources without the subscription.

You need use Get-AzSubscription to list all the available subscriptions.

Then set the subscription by using Select-AzSubscription {subscription id}.

Now you could create Azure resources.

I notice that your account seems to be a guest user right?

If so, you should assign the guest user as an administrator of a subscription at first. Then the guest user can see the subscription in Powershell.

Add your System Managed Identity as Contributor role in Subscription level.

Correct me if I am wrong. Thank You.

The following works

  1. Use Get-AzSubscription to list all the available subscriptions.

  2. Set the subscription by using Select-AzSubscription {subscription id}.

This error also occurs if you are using a Managed Identity to authenticate, but the Automation Account (or Functional App) does not have a Role assigned. Assigning a Role (presumably) "homes" this identity in Subscription and populates this property automatically during authentication.
