I am trying to create resource groups but I'm getting stopped.

Hello Md Khair Bin Asad Tahmid!

If you’re being stopped when trying to create resource groups in Azure, here are a few common issues and solutions to consider:

Permissions: Make sure your Azure account has the correct permissions (typically, Contributor or Owner at the subscription level) to create resource groups. If you're part of a team or organization, you may need to request these permissions from your administrator.

Subscription Status: Check that your subscription is active and not disabled or past due. You can verify this in the Azure Portal under "Subscriptions."

Region Restrictions: Some Azure regions could have restrictions or be temporarily unavailable. Try selecting a different region when creating the resource group.

Policy or Quota Limits: Your organization’s Azure policy or your subscription quota may restrict the creation of new resource groups. Look for any error messages when you attempt to create one—these will often mention the policy or limit.

Portal or Browser Issues:

Try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

  If possible, try using the Azure CLI or PowerShell to create the resource group and see if you get a more descriptive error message.
  
  **Check for Error Messages:** Examine any error code or message displayed when you are stopped. These can help pinpoint the exact reason for the problem.
  

If you have screenshots showing specific errors, reviewing them closely or sharing the text details can provide more guidance. Otherwise, double-check the above steps and try again.

Best regards,

Additional Troubleshooting

1.Check the Detailed Error Message

• In your screenshot, Azure shows “Failed to create the resource group. Click to view error details.”
• Please click that link — it often reveals error codes like AuthorizationFailed, SubscriptionNotRegistered, or QuotaExceeded. Each code has a specific fix.
• Documentation: Common Azure deployment errors

2.Ensure Resource Provider Registration

Resource groups require the Microsoft.Resources provider. If it’s not registered, creation will fail.

1. Steps:
   • Go to Azure Portal → Subscriptions → Your Subscription → Resource providers
   • Search for Microsoft.Resources
   • If Not Registered, click Register
2. Documentation: Azure resource providers and types

3.Use Azure CLI or Cloud Shell for More Details

• Sometimes the portal masks the real error message. Using CLI can give clearer details:

    az group create --name BMERRENDERING --location southindia
  

• If it fails, note the exact error and share it for further troubleshooting.
• Documentation: az group create CLI

4.Check Azure Policy or Quotas

• Your subscription may have a policy blocking resource group creation in certain regions, or you may have reached the quota limit.
• You can check this under Azure Portal → Subscriptions → Policies.
• Documentation: Understand Azure Policy effects

Hope this helps. Thank you!
