Hi Mitra,

Your subscription is not eligible for Bing Grounding Search SKU G1 access.

You have to upgrade your subscription to Pay-As-You-Go, as Grounding with Bing Search costs $35 per 1K transactions.

After you upgrade your subscription, here is the supported documentation for using Grounding with Bing Search:

Feel free to accept this as an answer.
