SubscriptionClient: cannot create alias subscription with management group

[mvalenzisi]

• Package Name: azure-mgmt-subscription
• Package Version: 3.1.1
• Operating System: Linux
• Python Version: 3.9.16

Describe the bug I try to create a subscription with the following piece of code:

subscription = subscription_client.alias.begin_create(
    alias_name=name,
    body=subscription_models.PutAliasRequest(
        properties=subscription_models.PutAliasRequestProperties(
            display_name=name,
            workload=subscription_models.Workload.PRODUCTION,
            billing_scope=billing_scope,
            additional_properties=subscription_models.PutAliasRequestAdditionalProperties(
                management_group_id=management_group,
                subscription_tenant_id=tenant_id
            )
        )
    )
)

The management group ID is: general (from the Azure portal). If I pass management_group_id="general" I get the error:

Subscription creation failed since provided management group id is not in the expected format (/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/{mgmtGroupId})

If I pass management_group_id="/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/general" I get the error:

Subscription creation failed since provided management group id is not valid

To Reproduce See above

Expected behavior The subscription should be created when I pass management_group="/providers/Microsoft.Management/managementGroups/general"

Hi, service team. I am not the expert in subscription and I don't find example declare what management_group_id looks like. Could you help give an sample to show how to set management_group_id?

[mvalenzisi]

I found this similar issue and it is exactly my case. The service principal that I'm using was not authorized to add the subscription to the management group. The error returned by the API is misleading.
