ARM deploy step fails with "Resource Group rgExample-Group could not be found."

[cpc-camarj]

After reviewing the permissions for the service principal, it appears that Reader access to the resource group containing the Data Factory is a pre-requisite. Is this something that others have experienced?

This also raised an interesting problem: How to handle the triggers that are stopped by the PrePostDeploymentScript.ps1 script if the ARM Deploy step fails without making any changes to the Azure Data Factory?

I am also seeing the same issue. Was the resolution for you to ensure that the SP had the Reader access to the proper resource group?

@DCavanaugh98, I was able to resolve this by ensuring that the Data Factory Contributor role was assigned at the resource group level.

Here is the supporting documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/concepts-roles-permissions#scope-of-the-data-factory-contributor-role.

At the same time, this information needs to be included in the README. If I have some time, I'll open a PR.

@DCavanaugh98 , as @cpc-camarj mentioned, try the "Data Factory Contributor role assignment at the resource group level" if that still does not work, try at a subscription level. It worked for me, since i was using the Github Actions to deploy ARM templates.
