Important
As of August 31, 2024, Azure classic administrator roles (along with Azure classic resources and Azure Service Manager) are retired and no longer supported. Starting in December 2025, Azure automatically assigned the Owner role at subscription scope to users in the public cloud who were still assigned the Co-Administrator or Service Administrator role. As of May 2026, classic administrator roles are fully retired and you must assign roles in Azure role-based access control (RBAC) to manage access.
For more information, see Azure classic subscription administrators.
This article describes the retirement of the Co-Administrator and Service Administrator roles.

What should I do if I lose access to a subscription?

- Follow steps to elevate access to manage all subscriptions in a tenant.
- Assign the Owner role at subscription scope for a user.
- Remove elevated access.
