Authorization Issues with Azure Virtual Desktop RemoteApps API

Question

Hello,

I am currently trying to use the Azure Virtual Desktop RemoteApps API, specifically the endpoint to get a list of RemoteApps, as documented here: Get a list of RemoteApps.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/virtual-desktop/remote-app/get-list?view=rest-virtual-desktop-v1

When I attempt to make a request using the "Try it" feature on the documentation page, I receive a 401 Unauthorized error. This suggests that there may be an issue with the permissions or roles assigned to my Azure account.

Can someone please guide me on the specific permissions or roles I need to assign to access this endpoint successfully? I have checked the Azure Virtual Desktop built-in roles documentation, but I am still uncertain which permissions are specifically required for this API call.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi DILIP KUMAR,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

As a minimum, the Azure account you use must have the Desktop Virtualization Application Group Contributor built-in role-based access control (RBAC) roles on the resource group, or on the subscription to create the resources.

And also, If the Bearer token is incorrect or malformed, the server will reject it, resulting in a 401 error. This can occur if there are issues during the token generation process or if the token is manually copied incorrectly.
The Bearer token authorizes your request to access specific resources within Azure, such as retrieving RemoteApps. It must be included in every API call that requires authentication.
