You can transfer an entire subscription to another tenant (if it is not a CSP subscription) so an option here is to first move the resource group to another subscription first (a temporary subscription perhaps) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/move-resource-group-and-subscription and then move this subscription to the new tenant - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription

This is usually the easiest way assuming your resource types support a tenant/subscription move at all.

Thanks for your reply but iam not working alone on that subscription so i donot have the option to move the whole subscription.. I need only to move my resources included in one resource group to another subscription on another tenant

In that case, the easiest solution is usually as I said to create a new subscription temporarily but it depends on what resources you need to move.

Create temporary subscription

Move the resource group to the temporary subscription

Change the directory of the temporary subscription to the new tenant

Move the resource group from the temporary subscription to the correct subscription on the new tenant

Delete temporary subscription

temporary subscription must be on target tenant or the old tenant ?

Old tenant initially. You can then move the resource group across subscriptions within the old tenant first.

Then you can transfer the temporary subscription to the target tenant - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/transfer-subscription

Answer 2

@Elsemary, Hadeer Thank you for your post!

I see that your ask is to move resource groups one subscription to another in two different tenants. There is no direct way to move the resources across tenants. However, there are workarounds, but the process is bit cumbersome. Refer to - https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/51360.azure-how-to-move-resources-between-subscriptions-under-different-tenants.aspx

Hope this helps!
