Unsupported RBAC action in migration permissions documentation

The article lists Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/servers/configurations/read. Azure rejects custom-role creation with InvalidActionOrNotAction for this permission.

Live provider-operation metadata does not list it, but does list Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/configurations/read.

Please remove the unsupported action or document its valid replacement.

    The documented minimum RBAC set for PostgreSQL Migration Service includes both of these configuration read actions:

    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/configurations/read
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/servers/configurations/read

    The provider permissions listing in the available context includes Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/* migration and server actions, including:

    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/configurations/read
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/migrations/write
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/migrations/read
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/migrations/delete
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/checkMigrationNameAvailability/action
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/getSourceDatabaseList/action
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/testConnectivity/action
    • Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/read

    No provider-operation entry in the available context confirms Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/servers/configurations/read as a valid action for current PostgreSQL RBAC permissions, while Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/configurations/read is explicitly documented as valid.

    Based on that, the supported replacement is:

    • Use Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/flexibleServers/configurations/read

    For the migration permissions article, the unsupported Microsoft.DBforPostgreSQL/servers/configurations/read entry should be removed unless it is separately documented in the provider operations list.
