You can check your access level by navigating to your subscription, selecting Access control (IAM) on the left-hand side of the Azure portal, and then selecting View my access. If you don't have an Azure subscription, [create one for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F) before you begin.

-* An Azure resource group. Only one Azure IoT Operations instance is supported per resource group. To create a new resource group, use the [az group create](/cli/azure/group#az-group-create) command. For the list of currently supported Azure regions, see [Supported regions](../overview-iot-operations.md#supported-regions).
