Cannot add azure_ai or azure storage extension to Flexible PostgreSQL 16.9

JM 0

CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS azure_ai;

--output from query:

--permission denied to alter restricted role "azure_pg_admin"

the issue azure_ai 1.3.1 fails to install on pg 16.9 with error: permission denied to alter restricted role "azure_pg_admin"

Logged in as the server admin after enabling the extension in the azure portal.

Also restarted the server for good measure, still fails to install. Any guidance?
