I'm trying to regenerate the password for the Microsoft App ID for my Azure Bot Service. The system errors out saying that i don't have access

Hello Jayadev Pulaparty,

Thank you for reaching out about the Azure Bot Service Microsoft App ID password regeneration issue on your student subscription. This is a known limitation with student subscriptions and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) permissions.

Understanding the Issue:

Why This Happens with Student Subscriptions!

• Student subscriptions often have restricted permissions for Microsoft Entra ID operations, including App Registration management
• App Registration permissions are frequently limited or disabled by default on educational accounts
• The "Certificates & secrets" section requires specific Microsoft Entra ID roles that may not be granted to student accounts

Confirmed Limitation:

Based on community reports, creating and managing Bot Services on student subscriptions has known limitations:

• Multiple users have confirmed that Bot Service creation is not possible on student subscriptions.
• App Registration management (including secret regeneration) is often restricted.
• This is by design for educational account security policies.

Workaround:

1.Student subscription tenant:

• Ensure your account has the Application Administrator role.
• Navigate to Azure AD > Roles and administrators > Application Administrator and assign it to your account.

2.Alternative approach (if you can’t gain access):

• You can register a new app in Azure AD yourself (if allowed), generate a new client secret, and then update your Bot Service configuration with the new App ID + Secret.
