And, if the resources can have different locations than the resource group, why does the resource group location matter at all?" The resource group stores metadata about the resources.

* A resource group can be used to scope access control for administrative actions. To manage a resource group, you can assign [Azure Policies](../../governance/policy/overview.md), [Azure roles](../../role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal.md), or [resource locks](lock-resources.md).
