'Azure Functions Error Message: Method not allowed in this pricing tier
I have an azure function that was developed to automate interactions with API Management.
So upon Http Trigger, it would create an api management user.
This was with the Developer tier and everything worked fine - I had tested it and everything.
Since switching from Developer tier to Consumption tier, I am now receiving the following error during the function.

This wasn't something I noticed when looking at the differences between tiers when I decided to switch, but the error message seems pretty straightforward. Can someone confirm that I literally cannot run the command New-AzApiManagementUser in the context of a consumption tier API Management instance?
And if not, is there any way of automating the creation of API Management users in Consumption tier?
Solution 1:[1]
No, you cannot. According to the documentation, "Direct management API" is not supported for consumption tier.
