Azure Government Get incidents returns 401 Forbidden


I am trying to get the Incidents using the Azure Government Cloud as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/securityinsights/incidents/list?view=rest-securityinsights-2024-09-01&tabs=HTTP

Request to get the token:

curl --location 'https://login.microsoftonline.us/TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=CLIENT_ID' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=https://management.usgovcloudapi.net//.default'

Reponse:

{"token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3599,"ext_expires_in":3599,"access_token":"..."}

Request to get the incidents:

curl --location 'https://management.usgovcloudapi.net/subscriptions/SUBSCRIPTION_ID/resourceGroups/GROUP_NAME/providers/Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/WORKSPACE_NAME/providers/Microsoft.SecurityInsights/incidents?api-version=2024-04-01-preview&$filter=(properties/lastModifiedTimeUtc ge 2024-12-20T10:23:00Z and properties/lastModifiedTimeUtc le 2024-12-20T10:25:00Z)&$top=100' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ey...'

Response: 401 Forbidden

The same API calls work properly for Global Azure (management.azure.com) and the incidents are returned.


Solution

  • Azure Government Get incidents returns 401 Forbidden

    The above error occurs when you don't have proper permission or passing incorrect values in the Rest API URL.

    Assign Reader or Microsoft Sentinel Contributor role to your Azure service principal under subscription to get the incident.

    Portal:

    Also, you're using the 2024-04-01-preview API version in the incidents query, but the documentation you shared references 2024-09-01. Please make sure to use the correct API version

    enter image description here

    Now you can try with request with proper values and permission in your environment,
