Issue: you would like to know about the minimal permissions required to create resources in a Resource Group in Azure.

Solution:

• Contributor role: This role allows you to create and manage all types of Azure resources within the Resource Group.
• If using custom roles, you need the permission Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/write

I found the answer, thank you anyway

The Contributor role allows users to create, update, and delete resources within a resource group, but they cannot grant access to other users. This role is appropriate for developers who need to manage resources in a specific resource group.
