Foundry resources aren't viewable for me on Content Understanding Studio even after adding all the necessary roles.

Hello Karthikeyan, Balamurugan,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Thanks for the detailed explanation this behavior is actually expected, and it’s not related to permissions.

You’re running into a region support gap in Azure AI Foundry.

At the moment, Content Understanding Studio (Foundry UI experience) is fully supported (GA) only in select regions like West US, and not yet available in East US 2.

That’s why Resources in West US → visible and editable

Resources in East US 2 → not visible in Studio

Even though The resources exist, You have correct IAM roles

Why roles didn’t fix it

RBAC (roles) controls access, but your issue is about feature availability.

Even with full permissions, the Studio won’t display resources if that feature isn’t enabled in that region yet.

Availability in East US 2

The product team is actively working on expanding support to more regions (including East US 2)

However, there is no public GA timeline availability yet

What you can do now

1: Use a supported region

If you need Studio access immediately Deploy your Foundry resources in West US / West US 3

Since you’ve already confirmed it works there

2: Continue using East US 2 via API/SDK

You can still use your resources programmatically

Limitation is only with the Studio UI visibility

3: Verify resource provider registration

Just to rule out edge cases, you can confirm the provider is registered:

az provider show --namespace Microsoft.Foundry

This is not a permissions issue

It’s due to regional feature rollout differences

Content Understanding Studio is currently supported in West US, not East US 2

No confirmed ETA yet for East US 2 availability.
