First step is to create a resource group in the correct Azure subscription.
Required Azure Role
Either one of these built-in roles (or a custom role with equivalent permissions):
- Owner — full access including role assignments
- Contributor — manage resources (no role assignments)
If role assignment is needed with Contributor, also grant User Access Administrator.
Azure Administration Tools / Interface
This guide uses the Azure Portal and a manual creation process.
Create and Manage Steps (Azure Portal)
- Go to Resource groups and click Create.
- In the Basics tab, select the correct subscription, provide a relevant name, and choose the applicable region.

- Click Review + create, then Create. The resource group will be provisioned.
