Hello. We are having trouble creating an Azure Function app within Azure. My own account has "Contributor" access. Another team member's account has both "Owner" and "Contributor" access to the same subscription.
When either of us try to create a function app, the actual deployment step fails with a "BadGateway" error. Below are the details of the deployment. Note that we stripped out all self identifying IDs.
Operation ID: /subscriptions/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/resourceGroups/DataHub/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/Microsoft.Web-FunctionApp-Portal-xxxx-xxxx/operations/FFFFFFFFFFFF
Operation Name: FFFFFFFFFFFF
Provisioning Operation: Create
Provisioning state: Running
Timestamp: 4/21/2025, 4:43:05 PM
Duration: 16 seconds
Tracking ID: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
ServiceRequestId: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Status: BadGateway
Type: Microsoft.Web/serverfarms
Resource ID: /subscriptions/xxxx-xxxx-xxxx/resourceGroups/DataHub/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/ASP-DataHub-939c
Resource: ASP-DataHub-939c
Deployment Correlation ID: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Status Message:
{
"status": "Failed",
"error": {
"code": "Forbidden",
"message": "The subscription 'xxxx-xxxx-xxxx' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.",
"details": [
{
"message": "The subscription 'xxxx-xxxx-xxxx' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm."
},
{
"code": "Forbidden"
},
{}
]
}
}

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.
Your subscription may not allow App Service Plan creation, Navigate to Subscriptions > Policies in the Azure portal, check if there's a policy like
Allowed Resource Types,Allowed Locations, orNot Allowed Resource Typesapplied.

2025-04-21T22:44:15.0233333+00:00 Hello, thanks for the response. I am only seeing one "Initiative Assignment" and no "Policy Assignments". I'm not the best with understanding policies and such within Azure so I could be missing something but everything I've checked so far looks good.

If possible, try created the functionapp in a different region.

2025-05-06T07:27:49.53+00:00 Hi Kyle Stankovich,
The error indicates that your Azure subscription is restricted from creating or modifying App Service Plans (serverfarms). It could be due to Azure Policy restrictions or Subscription type limitations or just a temporary backend issue.
Steps to troubleshoot the issue:
- This could be a transient backend issue. Wait for few hours in the range of 24 to 32 hours and retry the same deployment again.
- In some of the cases, this can be resolved by deploying the Function App in a different region as mentioned in the blog.
- Ensure
Microsoft.Webis registered underSubscriptions => your subscription => Settings=>Resource providers.
- If you still face issues, as an alternative you can create the function app using Azure CLI or any IDEs such as Visual Studio or Visual Studio code which can bypass UI-related issues.
