SnapshotException (status_code: 403)

[ryotatomioka]

Hi,

I have encountered SnapshotException with status code 403. It turns out that I have a read permission but not write permission for the subscription I was trying to submit my job to. It would be better if the error message was more informative.

This is the current error message

raise SnapshotException(get_http_exception_response_string(response))
azureml.exceptions._azureml_exception.SnapshotException: SnapshotException:
        Message: {
    "status_code": 403,
    "url": "..."
}
        InnerException None
        ErrorResponse
{
    "error": {
        "message": "{\n    \"status_code\": 403,\n    \"url\": \"...\"\n}"
    }
}

I think a better error message would be

Please make sure that you have write permission to subscription XYZ.

It might also be a good idea to document here what the typical causes for different status codes are.
