Defining the subscription is mandatory sometimes

[TimoRiikonenIF]

Describe the bug

Subscription must be defined if you have basic user permissions to the subscription

According to the document, this should work:
Set-AzContext --SubscriptionName "1234"
az group list --output table
But it gives an empty result if you have basic permissions to the subscription.

On the other hand this works still:
Set-AzContext --SubscriptionName "1234"
az group list --output table --SubscriptionName "1234"

Related command

Other az commands have the same issue, such as az cognitiveservices account show

Errors

Empty result, which is wrong result

Issue script & Debug output

Set-AzContext --SubscriptionName "1234"
az group list --output table --SubscriptionName "1234"

Expected behavior

Lists resource groups in the subscription that you have access to.

Additional context

There is another defect as well with this command in an unusual environment, but I didn't figure out how to solve that.

Hi @TimoRiikonenIF,

2.49.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.53.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
