Subscription not allowed to create a Function App

Anonymous

 Hi 

Im getting this everything time i try to create a function App in my subscription?

Is there any limitation for this subscription? It's a Visual Studio one with 150 credits.

"status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "Forbidden",
        "message": "The subscription 'xxxxxxxx-39d4-49de-b0cf-xxxxxxxxxx' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.",
        "details": [
            {
                "message": "The subscription ' xxxxxxxx-39d4-49de-b0cf-xxxxxxxxxx
' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm."
            },
            {
                "code": "Forbidden"
            },
            {}
        ]
    }

Use the Consumption tier instead

Hi Marcin,

Sorry, as I didn't provide this information. Originally I was using the consumption tier, and I thought it was the issue, but no, no matter what tier I select, I get the same message.

That isnt the issue, so far I tried the following tiers:

Flex Consumption

Consumption

Functions Premium

All of them gives me the exactly same message in the end.

Im owner of the sub and Global admin in Entra too

Hi @Joao Paulo Costa,

I apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

It sounds like your Visual Studio subscription may have restrictions that prevent the creation of a Function App, regardless of the tier you choose.

This error message usually occurs when you don't have the necessary permissions to create or update a server farm.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to create or update a server farm. You need to have the Contributor or Owner role assigned to your account or the resource group where you are trying to create the function app. Please refer to these documents: Azure Subscription and Service Limits and Azure Functions hosting options.

Check if you have reached the limit of server farms that you can create in your subscription. If you have reached the limit, you need to delete an existing server farm or request an increase in the limit.

Try creating the function app in a different region. Sometimes, the issue can be specific to a region, and creating the function app in a different region can resolve the issue.

I hope this answers your query! Let me know if you require any additional help or clarification.
