Azure Student Account Error: Subscription Not Allowed to Register Resource Providers

Question

I recently created an Azure Student Account and was assigned the Azure for Students Starter subscription. When I tried to create resources like virtual machines or storage accounts, I encountered the following error:

"The subscription Azure for Students Starter is not allowed to register the resource provider(s): Microsoft.Compute, Microsoft.Storage, Microsoft.Network."

It seems like my subscription does not have permissions to register certain resource providers, which is preventing me from deploying essential services. How can I resolve this issue or upgrade permissions?

Any guidance on how to proceed would be appreciated.

Hi @vedant Marwadi

To register a resource provider in Azure, you'll need to follow a few steps. However, it's important to note that your current Azure for Students Starter subscription may not allow you to register certain resource providers

Go to the Azure Portal:

Navigate to Azure Portal and sign in with your Azure account.

Access Subscriptions:

In the search bar at the top, type Subscriptions and click on the Subscriptions service.

Select Your Subscription:

From the list of subscriptions, click on the one where you want to register the resource provider

View Resource Providers:

In the left-hand menu, under Settings, select Resource providers.

Register Resource Providers:

In the search box, type the name of the resource provider you want to register (e.g., Microsoft.Storage)

Once you find the resource provider, click on (...) Register next to it.
