Setting up a storage account errors

Question

I am working through Azure Fundamentals, with a test around setting up a storage account. I am trying to set up a resource group for a new storage account, and it says that I don't have permissions. I can't continue without putting in a resource group. What am I doing wrong? :-)

It sounds like you might not have the necessary permissions to create a resource group. This usually happens if your account has limited access, like a Reader role instead of Contributor or Owner.

Here’s what you can try:

Check Your Role:

Go to the Azure portal → Azure Active Directory → Roles and administrators.

  Verify your role and check if you have permissions to create resource groups.

  
  **Contact Your Admin**:

  
     If you're on a company or learning environment, contact your Azure administrator to request the necessary permissions.

     
     **Use an Existing Resource Group**:

     
        If your permissions are limited, check if there’s an existing resource group you can use.
