### Scope a reservation to a resource group
45-

You can scope the reservation to a resource group when you buy the reservation, or you set the scope after purchase. You must be a subscription owner to scope the reservation to a resource group.

To set the scope, go to the [Purchase reservation](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft\_Azure\_Reservations/CreateBlade/referrer/Browse\_AddCommand) page in the Azure portal. Select the reservation type that you want to buy. On the **Select the product that you want to purchase** selection form, change the Scope value to Single resource group. Then, select a resource group.

Purchase recommendations for the resource group in the virtual machine reservation are shown. Recommendations are calculated by analyzing your usage over the last 30 days. A purchase recommendation is made if the cost of running resources with reserved instances is cheaper than the cost of running resources with pay-as-you-go rates. For more information about reservation purchase recommendations, see [Get Reserved Instance purchase recommendations based on usage pattern](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/get-usage-based-reserved-instance-recommendations).

You can always update the scope after you buy a reservation. To do so, go to the reservation, click **Configuration**, and rescope the reservation. Rescoping a reservation isn't a commercial transaction. Your reservation term isn't changed. For more information about updating the scope, see [Update the scope after you purchase a reservation](manage-reserved-vm-instance.md#change-the-reservation-scope).
