This template assigns a built-in policy to an existing resource group. You must be an owner of the scope (subscription, resourceGroup) to apply a policy. Inputs to this template are the following fields:

  • policyDefinitionID
  • policyAssignmentName

The following PowerShell script shows how to get the policy definition ID and the policy display name of a built-in policy called Audit resource location matches resource group location.

$policyDefinitionId = $(Get-AzPolicyDefinition  | Where-Object { $_.Properties.DisplayName -eq 'Audit resource location matches resource group location' }).PolicyDefinitionId

To learn more about how to deploy the template, see the quickstart article.
