Globally unique resources that provide access to data management services and serve as the parent namespace for the services.
Select a region listed in your subscription’s Allowed resource deployment regions policy that is also supported by Microsoft Foundry; the selected Central US region can still be blocked if it is not allowed for your particular Azure for Students subscription.
Find and use an allowed region
- Open the Azure portal and go to Policy.
- Select Authoring → Assignments.
- Open Allowed resource deployment regions (or a similarly named Allowed locations assignment).
- Under Parameters, inspect the Allowed locations value. Azure for Students subscriptions have a limited region list that can differ between subscriptions.^1^
- Compare that list with the supported Foundry project regions. Examples include Central US, East US, East US 2, North Europe, South India, Southeast Asia, Sweden Central, UK South, West Europe, West US, and West US 3.^2^
- Return to Microsoft Foundry → Create project and choose a region appearing in both lists.
Changing the resource group or resource name will not bypass a subscription-level location policy. Also check that the specific model or Foundry feature you need is available in the selected region, because feature and model availability can vary.^2^
If there is no overlapping region
If none of the regions allowed by your subscription supports the required Foundry workload:
- In the Azure portal, open Help + support.
- Select Create a support request.
- Select the affected Azure for Students subscription.
- Include:
- Error code:
RequestDisallowedByAzure - The blocked resource and selected region
- The regions shown by the policy assignment
- The Foundry region and feature required
- The screenshot and deployment timestamp
- Error code:
- Request access to an additional region or confirmation that this subscription offer cannot use the required region.
Azure’s region-optimization policy explicitly directs customers with a suitable business requirement to submit a support request for unavailable regions.^3^ Approval is not guaranteed, particularly for subscription offers with predefined restrictions. If access cannot be granted, use another subscription whose allowed regions overlap the required Foundry regions.
