 - The project connection string. It can be found in your Azure AI Studio project overview page, under "Project details". Below we will assume the environment variable `PROJECT_CONNECTION_STRING` was defined to hold this value.
 - Entra ID is needed to authenticate the client. Your application needs an object that implements the [TokenCredential](https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-core/azure.core.credentials.tokencredential) interface. Code samples here use [DefaultAzureCredential](https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/azure-identity/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential). To get that working, you will need:
-  * The role `Azure AI Developer` assigned to you. Role assigned can be done via the "Access Control (IAM)" tab of your Azure AI Project resource in the Azure portal.
-  * The token must have the scope `https://management.azure.com/.default` or `https://ml.azure.com/.default`, depending on the set of client operation you will execute.
+  * The `Contributor` role. Role assigned can be done via the "Access Control (IAM)" tab of your Azure AI Project resource in the Azure portal.
   * [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) installed.
   * You are logged into your Azure account by running `az login`.
   * Note that if you have multiple Azure subscriptions, the subscription that contains your Azure AI Project resource must be your default subscription. Run `az account list --output table` to list all your subscription and see which one is the default.
