If you’re encountering the error message “The subscription ‘…’ is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm” while deploying your app service in Azure, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check the Region Compatibility: Ensure that you are attempting to create or update both the service plan and app service in the same region. Mismatched regions can lead to conflicts and cause this error.

Azure Policies: Verify if there are any Azure Policies created by other users that might impact or restrict the creation or modification of the server farm or related resources. Sometimes, policies can prevent certain actions within your subscription.

Register Microsoft.Web Provider: Check the list of registered providers in your subscription. If the Microsoft.Web provider is not registered, you can register it using the following Azure CLI commands: az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Web az provider list --query ``"[namespace=='Microsoft.Web'].resourceTypes[].resourceType"``

Clear Subscription Cache: Clear the cached subscriptions using the following command: az account clear Then set the required subscription again using: az account ``set`` --name <subscription_name> Sometimes, issues like this can be resolved over time. Retry deploying your app service through the Azure portal.
