Create and manage lab plans in Azure Lab Services
Important
Azure Lab Services will be retired on June 28, 2027. For more information, see the retirement guide.
Note
This article references features available in lab plans, which replaced lab accounts.
In Azure Lab Services, a lab plan is a container for managed lab types such as labs. An administrator sets up a lab plan with Azure Lab Services and provides access to lab owners who can create labs in the plan. This article describes how to create a lab plan, view all lab plans, or delete a lab plan.
Prerequisites
- An Azure account with an active subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
- An Azure account with permission to manage a lab, such as the Lab Creator, Owner, Contributor, or Lab Services Contributor Azure RBAC role. Learn more about the Azure Lab Services built-in roles and assignment scopes.
Create a lab plan
To create a lab plan, see Quickstart: Set up resources to create labs.
View lab plans
To view the list of lab plans in the Azure portal:
Sign in to the Azure portal.

Tip
Use the filters to restrict the list of the resources by subscription, resource group, location, or other criteria.
Delete a lab plan
Caution

Before you delete a lab plan, make sure to delete all associated labs, Azure Compute Gallery images, and other resources. If you're unable to delete these resources, create an Azure Support request for Azure Lab Services.
