Answer 1

Hi David
Make sure that the subscription you are using has the necessary permissions to create resource groups.

Please follow the below steps to create a resource group using PowerShell

1)Login to Azure PowerShell

Connect-AzAccount

2)Get all subscriptions

Get-AzSubscription

3)Set your subscription

Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId xxxxxxx

4)Try creating the resource group again

New-AzResourceGroup -Name AzureRG -Location WestUS

I tested this in my test environment, and it worked. Below is the output screenshot.

Please refer the below documents

Use Azure PowerShell and the Az.Resources module to create the resource group.

1. Connect to Azure and select the subscription (if not already done):

Connect-AzAccount
# Optional: set subscription
# Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId <your-subscription-id>

2. (Optional) List available locations so a valid region can be chosen:

Get-AzLocation | Select-Object Location

3. Create the resource group with New-AzResourceGroup:

New-AzResourceGroup -Name "myResourceGroup" -Location "WestUS"

Replace myResourceGroup with the desired name and WestUS with any supported region (for example, eastus2, westus, EastUS). If permissions are correct, the command returns the new resource group details with ProvisioningState : Succeeded.

If a variable is preferred for location:

$location = "westus"
New-AzResourceGroup -Name "rbac-tutorial-resource-group" -Location $location
