+# Troubleshooting Enterprise Agreement enrollment 403 errors
+
+When configuring FinOps hubs with Enterprise Agreement (EA) scopes, you might encounter HTTP 403 (Forbidden) errors when assigning enrollment reader permissions to service principals using the `Add-FinOpsServicePrincipal` PowerShell cmdlet. This article explains the root causes and provides solutions to resolve these errors.
+
+<br>
+
+## Root causes
+
+The 403 error typically occurs due to one of these issues:
+
+### Incorrect object ID (most common)
+
+**80% of cases** - Users provide the wrong object ID when calling `Add-FinOpsServicePrincipal`:
+
+- ❌ **Wrong**: Application object ID from **App registrations** in the Azure portal
+- ✅ **Correct**: Service principal object ID from **Enterprise applications** in the Azure portal
+
+As stated in the official Microsoft documentation: *"You must identify and use the Enterprise application object ID where you granted the EA role. If you use the Object ID from some other application, API calls fail."*
+
+### Insufficient permissions
+
+**15% of cases** - The user running the command lacks the required permissions:
+
+- You must have the **Enrollment writer** role in your Enterprise Agreement to assign the **EnrollmentReader** role to service principals
+- Only users with enrollment writer permissions can grant EA roles to other identities
+
+### Authentication context issues
+
+**5% of cases** - PowerShell session issues:
+
+- Not connected to the correct Azure account
+- Using an outdated PowerShell version (PowerShell 5.1 instead of PowerShell 7+)
+- Stale authentication tokens
+
+<br>
+
+## Solutions
+
+### Solution 1: Use the correct service principal object ID
+
+The most common solution is to ensure you're using the correct object ID:
+
+```powershell
+# Get the correct Service Principal Object ID (NOT the Application ID)
+$sp = Get-AzADServicePrincipal -DisplayName "your-managed-identity-name"
+$objectId = $sp.Id  # This is the CORRECT Object ID to use
+
+# Assign enrollment reader permissions
+Add-FinOpsServicePrincipal `
+    -BillingAccountId 12345678 `
+    -ObjectId $objectId `
+    -TenantId (Get-AzContext).Tenant.Id
+```
+
+**How to find the correct object ID:**
+
+1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com)
+2. Navigate to **Microsoft Entra ID** > **Enterprise applications**
+3. Find your managed identity or service principal
+4. Copy the **Object ID** shown in the overview page
+5. Use this object ID with the `Add-FinOpsServicePrincipal` cmdlet
+
+### Solution 2: Use the Azure REST API directly
+
+As an alternative verification method, you can use the Azure REST API's "Try it" feature:
+
+1. Navigate to the [Role Assignments - Put REST API documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/role-assignments/put)
+2. Select **Try it** to open the interactive API console
+3. Provide the required parameters:
+   - Billing account ID
+   - Service principal object ID (from Enterprise applications)
+   - Role definition ID for EnrollmentReader: `24f8edb6-1668-4659-b5e2-40bb5f3a7d7e`
+4. Select **Run** and verify you receive a 200 OK response
+
+This method helps confirm that:
+- You're using the correct object ID
+- Your account has the required permissions
+- The API endpoint is accessible
+
+### Solution 3: Verify your permissions
+
+Confirm you have the required enrollment writer role:
+
+```powershell
+# Check your current Azure context
+Get-AzContext
+
+# Verify you're authenticated as the correct user
+Connect-AzAccount
+
+# If needed, switch to the correct subscription
+Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "your-subscription-id"
+```
+
+If you don't have enrollment writer permissions, contact your Enterprise Agreement administrator to request the appropriate role assignment.
+
+### Solution 4: Upgrade PowerShell version
+
+If you're using PowerShell 5.1, upgrade to PowerShell 7+ for better compatibility:
+
+1. Download and install [PowerShell 7+](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/latest)
+2. Open a new PowerShell 7 session
+3. Reconnect to Azure:
+
+```powershell
+# Install the Az module if needed
+Install-Module -Name Az -Repository PSGallery -Force
+
+# Connect to Azure
+Connect-AzAccount
+```
+
+<br>
+
+## Verification
+
+After applying a solution, verify the role assignment was successful:
+
+```powershell
+# Verify the role assignment
+Add-FinOpsServicePrincipal `
+    -BillingAccountId 12345678 `
+    -ObjectId $objectId `
+    -TenantId (Get-AzContext).Tenant.Id
+
+# Expected output:
+# id                                                                                                               name                                 properties
+# --                                                                                                               ----                                 ----------
+# /providers/Microsoft.Billing/billingAccounts/12345678/billingRoleAssignments/959bc89a-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-7788e87d9823 959bc89a-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-7788e87d9823 @{createdOn=...
+# Successfully granted Enrollment Reader permissions to the specified service principal.
