You’d need `ROLE_TENANT_MANAGEMENT_ADMIN` or `ROLE_TENANT_ADMIN` for this.  
Can you verify that your user has these?

Use Dev tools to see what call is getting the error. It’s likely you haven’t got the correct permissions as Christoph suggests.

Hi Christoph,

We have another user that is having the same problem when adding a certificate. The user tried with an admin account and still gets “Access Denied” messages. Can you please advise on a possible solution?

Thanks,  
Nadia

What does Dev tools show ‘Access is denied’ to?

I can add a cert to this tenant using ‘UniversityRelations’ user. It’s got TENANT\_ADMIN permission.

‘Faculty1’ certainly does NOT have the correct permissions.

Note, the admins group does NOT have the required permissions.

At least on my test tenant, the only out-of-the-box group which includes the `ROLE_TENANT_MANAGEMENT_ADMIN` role is “Tenant Manager”.

As Reuben pointed out, the default `admins` group does not have the required permissions. You can check what you have in the UI:

What you are looking for is “Tenant management”.
