The subscription 'xxx' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.

Question

Hi.

I'm having trouble deploying an app service. The configuration is correct, but the deployment is always stuck with the following response:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "Forbidden",
        "message": "The subscription 'cd24d2b4-521e-48c9-bb6c-d2d2ee7affaa' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm.",
        "details": [
            {
                "message": "The subscription 'cd24d2b4-521e-48c9-bb6c-d2d2ee7affaa' is not allowed to create or update the serverfarm."
            },
            {
                "code": "Forbidden"
            },
            {}
        ]
    }
}

I also tried the solutions stated in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78101504/azure-app-service-deployment-failing-the-subscription-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-is-not-al, but it did not work.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Iago Tambosi We are sorry to hear you're facing this issue. what region are you deploying your web application and what tier is your app service plan? Please try deploying it to a different region and that should resolve it.

The solution was to wait and keep trying to create a new deploy. Eventually, the error went away.
