(ResourceGroupNotFound) Resource group '????' could not be found when creating an azure media services account

I'm trying to create a Service Principal account using the instructions here

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/stream-files-tutorial-with-api#examine-the-code-that-uploads-encodes-and-streams

However when I run the command

az ams account sp create --account-name *media_service_account_name* --resource-group *resource_group_name*

Where media_service_account_name is the name shown for the media service I have created and resource_group_name the name of the resource group shown on the same page.

The problem is I get the message ResourceGroupNotFound:

Resource group 'resource_group_name' could not be found.

I just can't see what I am doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

I was struggling with this error while trying to test some bicep templates i was previously using. every result searching for this error had the same "set your default subscription" answer, which did not work.

I finally found this answer where the error is caused by having a non-existent (deleted) default group set, fixed with:

az configure --defaults group=

(unset the default or you can enter the name of a group you'd like to use)

Posting it here since this is the first thing that comes up in google

If you have multiple subscriptions, set your subscription first and then try:

  • To list all subscriptions - az account list --output table
  • To set your subscription - az account set --subscription <subscription-id>
  • To set your subscription using Powershell - Set-AzContext <subscription_id>

I was running a task: AzureCLI@2 in azure pipeline for creating an azure vwan. I put az account set --subscription xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx but it still didn't work and was throwing:

ERROR: (ResourceGroupNotFound) Resource group 'test-rg' could not be found.

Then I added --subscription "xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx" at the end of he az network vwan create even though it wasn't shown in the documentation.

Here's how I did:

az network vwan create --name testwan01 --resource-group test-rg --subscription "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" --type Standard

Hope it helps if you are running it from some orchestration tools like Jenkins or Azure pipelines.

I had the same issue and verified the subscription with az account show, but what I was missing is that I was working in powershell and needed to set the correct subscription in powershell. Verify context: Get-Azcontext Set context: Set-Azcontext <subscription_id>

Set your subscription on which you want to execute query 3. az account set --subscription "VS Subscription"

You may have multiple subscriptions. Set the subscription to default which you want to use in CLI.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/manage-azure-subscriptions-azure-cli?view=azure-cli-latest

Keep in mind that Resource Groups in Azure are things that you create, so the article was only providing an example of a Resource Group name.

The command to create the service principal expects you to use the resource group that you used to create your media service account. 

az ams account sp create --account-name amsaccount --resource-group **amsResourceGroup**

Make sure that you are using the right resource group name that you used when you created your Media Services account first, and use a unique named one in the same region as your account. I usually call az group create before creating a new account to put it into it's own Resource Group along with the storage account I create for it.

Example Create a new resource group named "MyResourceGroup" in the West US region.

az group create -l westus -n

Hope that helps!
