Policy Remediation - Log Analytics Contributor role not enough ? missing 'Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/sharedKeys/action' about azurepolicy

[JimGBritt]

If a resource modified by deployIfNotExists or modify is outside the scope of the policy assignment or the template accesses properties on resources outside the scope of the policy assignment, the assignment's managed identity must be manually granted access or the remediation deployment will fail.

I have been meaning to take a look and see if AssignPermissions would solve this. I have it already leveraged for Event Hubs as a sink point. Given the scope is an RG and the LA Workspace is in another RG, using AssignPermissions should give the MI rights during the assignment process. Happy to take a PR on this if you can test and let me know.

$JSONPARMS = @'

            "profileName": {
                "type": "String",
                "metadata": {
                    "displayName": "Profile Name for Config",
                    "description": "The profile name Azure Diagnostics"
                }
            },
            "eventHubName": {
                "type": "String",
                "metadata": {
                    "displayName": "EventHub Name",
                    "description": "The event hub for Azure Diagnostics",

                    "assignPermissions": true
                }
            },

It looks like I must have being doing something wrong when generating the original scripts or there might have been some delay as I got remediation working this morning (still not sure what I did wrong).

I should have read the documentation

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/governance/policy/how-to/remediate-resources
If a resource modified by deployIfNotExists or modify is outside the scope of the policy assignment or the template accesses properties on resources outside the scope of the policy assignment, the assignment's managed identity must be manually granted access or the remediation deployment will fail.
