Dear Azure Support Team,

My name is Phan Quoc Luu. I am a student using Azure for Students. I encountered the following error when trying to deploy a resource:
DenyAssignmentAuthorizationFailed

[UNUSUALACTIVITY] FULL DENY ASSIGNMENT ON subscription [Mod Removed - PII]
Here are my details:

  • Email: [Mod Removed - PII]

Subscription ID: [Mod Removed - PII]

Role: Owner

Subscription type: Azure for Students

Current status: Disabled

I believe the subscription has expired or was disabled, which is preventing access due to a deny assignment.

Could you please:

Confirm the subscription status, and

Assist with unlocking or reactivating it if possible, so I can continue my academic work.

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Sincerely,
Phan Quoc Luu

    Hey there, Phan Quoc Luu

    The student subscription lasts for 1 year and will expire one year from when the subscription was first enabled. If the subscription has expired after a year, please can you re-register for the student subscription here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students?msockid=012fee8ffecc600a2c82fb63ff776173

    You can find out about eligibility for the student subscription here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/education-hub/azure-dev-tools-teaching/program-faq#azure-for-students

    There is an article here on how to reactivate a student subscription through cost management here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/azurestudents-subscription-disabled?source=recommendations

    It doesn't take long for the subscription to be added to the account. I find the process quick and easy. It took me 5 minutes to complete the form using my university email and sign up. Lastly, please don't share personal identifiable information such as your email or subscription ID. If a support engineer needed this information, they will send you a private message to ask for this information.

    Hope this helps,
    Nathan
