I got the same error "This policy maintains a set of best available regions where your subscription can deploy resources. The objective of this policy is to ensure that your subscription has full access to Azure services with optimal performance" when trying to create Static Web App. It only allows to use regions "West US 2", "Central US", East US 2", "West Europe", East Asia".

None of these region are permitted in Azure for Students. How do I create a Static Web App?

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

User's image

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

User's image

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.

Thanks for the screenshot. When you get the error, if you click on the details and the Raw error tab, does the JSON error contain list of allowed regions?

If needed I was thinking we could write script that would loop through all the regions and try to create storage account in each. The regions where it succeeds would be your list of allowed regions.

Other people that got same error as you had list of allowed regions in their policy assignments. Unsure why it isn't showing for you, but will get it figured out.

@Mohammed Kaif Any update? If you still can't see a list of allowed regions I can help write script I mentioned above so you can determine which ones are permitted for your subscription.
