Docs look good -- content is clear, actionable, and links to authoritative sources. One suggestion inline.
| 2. Confirm your account has the **Enrollment writer** role in your Enterprise Agreement. See [Understand EA administrative roles](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/understand-ea-roles). | ||
| 3. Confirm the billing account ID matches your EA enrollment number exactly. | ||
| 4. If the error persists, try assigning the role directly through the [Billing Role Assignments REST API](https://learn.microsoft.com/rest/api/billing/2019-10-01-preview/role-assignments/put) using the **Try it** feature. | ||

Consider adding a cross-reference to the existing Access to the resource is forbidden section below, since both cover 403 scenarios. A user landing on either section should know the other exists.
For example, adding a line at the end of this section:
If this is not an EA enrollment scenario, see Access to the resource is forbidden.
And similarly adding a note in the existing section pointing back here for EA-specific 403 errors.
