RequestDisallowedByAzure: Allowed resource deployment regions policy is completely empty for my Student Subscription

Question

I am getting RequestDisallowedByAzure on my Azure for Students subscription (ID:

PII removed) no matter what region I select. I ran this in Cloud Shell: az policy assignment list -- query "[?

policyDefinitionId == '/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/b86dabb9-b578-4d7b-

b842-3b45e95769a1' ].parameters. allowedLocations . value" -- output tsv The command returns absolutely nothing, meaning my allowedLocations array is empty. I am on the free Basic support plan so I cannot open a formal ticket. Could a moderator please escalate this to the backend team to reset my allowed regions policy? Thank you.

Hi,

How long has it been since you created your Azure for Students subscription? When this has happened in the past the person just needed to wait and the assignment will automatically show up. Once it is there you can see your list of five regions and start creating resources.

If your subscription is relatively new I recommend you give it some time for the policy assignment to show up. Every 4 hours or so sign back into the portal and check if it is there. I believe it showed up for the last person within 24-48 hours.

For reference, below are my instructions for viewing list of 5 allowed regions:

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.
