    This error indicates the signed-in account does not have permission to create a resource group in that subscription.

    Use this check and fix path:

    1. In Azure portal, go to Subscriptions.
    2. Select the affected subscription.
    3. Open Access control (IAM).
    4. Check whether the account has a role that allows writing resources at the subscription scope.
      • A common requirement is Contributor or Owner on the subscription.
    5. If the role is missing, ask a subscription administrator to assign the required role.
    6. After the role assignment is updated, wait a few minutes for permission changes to propagate, then try creating the resource group again.

    To create a resource group after permissions are fixed:

    1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
    2. Select Resource groups.
    3. Select Create.
    4. Choose the Subscription, enter a Resource group name, and select a Region.
    5. Select Review + Create, then Create.

    If the account is a guest user, the guest account must also be assigned a role at the correct scope. If the subscription was recently moved between tenants or directories, role assignments may need to be checked and reassigned.

    Dear @md ullah

    Please check Subscription --> Access control (IAM) --> View my access and make sure you have an appropriate role, such as Contributor or Owner. If you don't have the required permissions, please contact your Azure subscription administrator. For more information, see the Azure RBAC documentation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/overview

    Could you also let us know what Azure RBAC role you currently have on the subscription?

    Best regards,
    Bence
