Hi, I'm working on private internal data which needs to be evaluated so I cant grant public access to the foundry resource, how can I resolve the issue?

Hi Nandha,

This issue usually happens due to a small configuration or UI-related problem in Azure AI Foundry, especially in the new evaluation experience. You can try the below checks step by step.

Check if all required fields are filled

Sometimes the Submit evaluation button does not work if any required field is missing.

Make sure dataset is selected
Make sure model or deployment is selected
If there are any evaluation metrics or configuration fields, ensure they are filled properly

Even one missing field can block submission without showing a clear error.

Validate dataset format

The evaluation will only work if the dataset format is correct.

Ensure your dataset matches the expected schema
For example, prompt and response columns should be properly mapped
No empty rows or invalid values

If the dataset is not valid, the evaluation may fail silently.

Check deployment and region

Make sure that:

The model deployment is active and in running state
The deployment region supports evaluation features

Some features in Azure AI Foundry are region dependent, so using a different supported region can help in testing.

Try with a small sample dataset

To isolate the issue:

Create a small dataset with a few rows
Run evaluation again

If this works, then the issue might be related to dataset size or formatting.

Browser-related checks

The new Foundry UI sometimes has temporary UI issues.

Try the following:

Refresh the page
Open in another browser
Use incognito or private mode
Clear browser cache

Check for validation or console errors

Open browser developer tools and check:

Any validation errors
Any failed API calls

This can help identify if something is being blocked at UI level.

Recreate evaluation configuration

If nothing works:

Create a new evaluation setup from scratch
Re-upload dataset and reselect model

Sometimes configuration gets stuck in the UI.

In short: In most cases, this issue comes down to:

Missing required input fields
Dataset format issues
Temporary UI glitches in the new Foundry experience

I Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any further queries.

Thankyou!

Hi Nandha,

Thank you for sharing the resolution.

Glad to hear the issue is resolved. Enabling public network access for the Azure AI Foundry resource can help in scenarios where evaluation or service operations are getting blocked due to network restrictions.

For others facing a similar issue, this indicates that the request was likely failing because the service or its connected resources such as storage were not reachable due to restricted network settings.

Thanks again for sharing the solution. This will definitely help others facing the same problem Could you please take a moment to mark it as Accepted? This helps others in the community.

Thankyou!

I am trying to upload the data set manually in the evaluation section and submit for evaluation. I have all the roles mentioned in the screenshot. Still getting 403. There is no storage account connected with this foundry. User's image
