Is it possible you're logged in with a different account now? Can you check the existing roles in the portal to see what user they're associated with. A quick fix would be to change the name in the bicep for each role: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/blob/e518ab0589af8d8704761d85db68ec4dffbfef55/infra/main.bicep#L408

@pamelafox Would you happen to know how to resolve this conflict in the portal in Azure? I am running into something quite similar where deployments related to role-user are failing. I am quite new to Azure and I could not find the role assignments pertaining to a deployment like openai-role-user.

[pamelafox]

Those role assignments are declared in main.bicep. If you haven't modified them, then there should only be a single role with each name. You can try changing names there, however.

For me the problem was that I ran https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo/blob/main/scripts/roles.sh which lead to conflicts on azd up. Removing my user from these roles on the reosurce group and then running azd up fixed it.
