Select-AzureRmSubscription : Please provide a valid tenant or a valid subscription

Question

I have created the Powershell Runbook, and added all the required details and valid values. Still I am facing the error for Select-AzureRmSubscription command. The error I am getting all the time is

Select-AzureRmSubscription : Please provide a valid tenant or a valid subscription.

I am using below connection setting in Powershell runbook:

$connectionName = "AzureRunAsConnection"

try
{

    # Get the connection "AzureRunAsConnection "

    $servicePrincipalConnection=Get-AutomationConnection -Name $connectionName 

    "Logging in to Azure..."

    Add-AzureRmAccount -ServicePrincipal -TenantId $servicePrincipalConnection.TenantId -ApplicationId
    $servicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId -CertificateThumbprint
    $servicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
}
catch {

    if (!$servicePrincipalConnection) 
    {

        $ErrorMessage = "Connection
        $connectionName not found."

        throw $ErrorMessage

    } else{

        Write-Error -Message $_.Exception

        throw $_.Exception
    }
}

Even if the subscription id is correct it keeps throwing an error as above.

If you run the runbook in the portal, you are already in the subscription, no need to use Select-AzureRmSubscription, then it will work fine. — Joy Wang-MSFT
If the subscription that you select is in your current tenant? — Charles Xu
@JoyWang : I tried removing Select-AzureRmSubscription command from the script , then I am facing below error for next command : Set-AzureRmCurrentStorageAccount : 'this.Client.SubscriptionId' cannot be null. At line:147 char:1 — VIshal Tile
Are the runbook and the storage which you used in the same subscription? — Joy Wang-MSFT

this means you do not have permissions to do so. you need to assign proper permissions to the account you are using for the runbook
