RequestDisallowedByPolicy Issue

Hi,

Azure for Students restricts which regions you can deploy resources to. Typically you are restricted to five different regions, and these vary for each person.

Please navigate to Azure Policy -- Authoring -- Assignments using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Policy/PolicyMenuBlade/~/Assignments

Click on assignment named Allowed resource deployment regions

Examine Allowed locations Parameter value for list of regions, similar to below (regions in screenshot are different than yours):

The regions shown in your Parameter value are the ones you are allowed to deploy resources to. Please try to create resources in one of these regions and let me know the results.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.

Hello Singhal, Shreya

Welcome to Microsoft q&a, and thanks for posting your question.
This usually means your request is blocked by an Azure Policy or Resource Lock applied at the subscription, resource group, or management group level.

1. Check the Policy Assignment
   • Go to Azure Portal → Policy → Assignments.
   • Look for policies applied to your subscription or resource group.
   • Identify which policy is causing the denial (it will be listed in the error details).
2. Review Policy Definition
   • Click the policy name → Check Effect (e.g., Deny, Audit).
   • Confirm if your request violates the policy (region, SKU, tags, etc.).
3. Fix or Request Exception
   • If you have permissions:
   • Update your resource configuration to comply with the policy.
   • Or modify/remove the policy assignment if allowed.
   • If you don’t have permissions:
   • Contact your Azure administrator for an exemption or remediation.
4. Validate After Changes
   • Retry the operation after updating the resource or policy.
