No more role assignments can be created code RoleAssignmentLimitExceeded while trying to assign roles using azure portal

Question

I get the error message "No more role assignments can be created (code: RoleAssignmentLimitExceeded)" while trying to assign a role.

How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

If you get this error message try to reduce the number of role assignments by assigning roles to groups instead. 

Azure supports up to 2000 role assignments per subscription. 

This role assignments limit is fixed and cannot be increased.
