Cosmos DB Data Explorer disabled

Question

Azure Cosmos DB > Data Explorer disabled, so I couldn't create a table or add an entity.

Answer 1

Hi @Xueming Wang,

As I understand, you are experiencing an issue where the Data Explorer is disabled, preventing you from creating a table or adding an entity. There are a few common reasons why this might happen:

• If RBAC is enforced on your Cosmos DB account, the Data Explorer in the Azure portal might not support it. You can use the dedicated Azure Cosmos DB Explorer instead.
• Ensure that your device has the necessary network access. For accounts with selected network access, you might need to add a firewall rule to allow your current IP address.
• The Data Explorer isn't available for certain APIs like PostgreSQL or vCore.
