# Request a Quota Increase in Azure

When you select your **resource group region** in the Reporting Hub installer, the installer checks your Azure subscription's quota for each required resource — **App Service**, **SQL Database**, and **Fabric Capacity** — in that region. Any resource without quota in the selected region is marked with a red icon, and you can't continue until you either:

* Confirm that you will create that resource in a different region (by selecting **Will select region on creation**), **or**
* Request a quota increase for the resource in your preferred region and then retry the installation.

The path you take depends on the resource:

* **App Service** quota requests are submitted through the **My Quotas** blade.
* **SQL Database** and **Fabric Capacity** quota requests are submitted through a Microsoft support ticket.

Microsoft typically processes support tickets within a few business days. {% endhint %}

#### When to Request a Quota Increase

Request a quota increase if:

* You need all Reporting Hub resources to live in a specific region for compliance, latency, or data residency reasons.
* The flagged resource is the only one without quota in your preferred region and you don't want to split deployment across regions.

If you are flexible on region for the flagged resource, the simpler path is to select **Will select region on creation** in the installer and choose a different region for that resource when prompted. See Installation Failures for details on multi-region deployments.

#### Minimum Quota Required

When you submit the quota request, ask for the minimum required for Reporting Hub:

| Resource            | Deployment SKU    | Quota to Request              |
| ------------------- | ----------------- | ----------------------------- |
| **App Service**     | **S1** (Standard) | `1` unit of S1                |
| **SQL Database**    | **Basic**         | `1` vCore (via Region access) |
| **Fabric Capacity** | **F2**            | `2` Capacity Units (CU)       |

You can request a higher value if you plan to scale, but these minimums are enough to complete the installation.

### Request a Quota Increase for App Service

Use the **My Quotas** blade for App Service requests.

1. Go to the **My Quotas** blade in the Azure portal: <https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/myQuotas>.
2. At the top of the page, set the filters:
   1. For **Provider**, select **App Service**.
   2. For **Region**, select the region you want to deploy into.
   3. Leave **Subscription** set to the subscription you're installing Reporting Hub into.
3. In the results list, find the **S1** quota and select the pencil **Edit** icon on the right of the row.
4. In the **New quota request** field, enter `1` and select **Submit**.
5. If the request can't be approved automatically, the same form will open a Microsoft support ticket. Complete and submit it.

### Request a Quota Increase for SQL Database or Fabric Capacity

Use the **Help + support** blade for SQL Database and Fabric Capacity requests. These always go through a Microsoft support ticket.

1. Go to the **Help + support** blade in the Azure portal: <https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Support/HelpAndSupportBlade>.

2. In the **Tell us about the issue** field, enter `quota` and select **Go**.
3. For **Which service are you having an issue with?**, select **Service and subscription limits (quotas)**.
4. For **Which subscription are you having an issue with?**, select the subscription you're installing Reporting Hub into.
5. For **What issue are you having?**, set **Problem type** to the service the installer flagged:
   * **SQL database** for SQL Database quota.
   * **Microsoft Fabric** for Fabric Capacity quota.
6. Select **Next**.
7. On the **Service and Subscription Limits (Quotas)** card, select **Create a support request**.

<figure><img src="/files/KzpaNn6d8UVcydHBwHOZ" alt="" width="317"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

8. On the **Problem description** tab, set **What is your issue related to?** to **Azure services**. The **Issue type**, **Subscription**, and **Quota type** fields are pre-filled from your previous selections — confirm they're correct, then select **Next**.
9. On the **Additional details** tab, under **Request details**, select **Enter details** to open the **Quota details** panel.
10. Fill in the panel based on the resource:
    * **For SQL Database:**
      1. Set **SQL database quota type** to **Region access**.
      2. Set **Location** to the region you want to deploy into.
      3. Set **Expected Consumption** to `1` (one vCore is enough for the Basic tier — Reporting Hub uses approximately 100–125 DTU).
      4. Optionally add context in **Description** (for example, *Deploying Reporting Hub, requires SQL Database access in this region*).
      5. Select **Save and continue**.
    * **For Fabric Capacity:**
      1. Set **Location** to the region you want to deploy into.
      2. Set **QuotaBucket** to **CapacityQuota**.
      3. Set **New limit (CU)** to `2` (the F2 SKU is 2 Capacity Units, which is enough to deploy Reporting Hub). Request a higher value if you plan to scale.
      4. Select **Save and continue**.
11. Complete the remaining fields on the **Additional details** tab (advanced diagnostic information, support method, contact info), then select **Next**.
12. On the **Review + create** tab, review your request and select **Create** to submit.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Microsoft typically processes quota support tickets within a few business days. This processing time is **outside of Reporting Hub's control**. If your installation timeline is tight, consider deploying the flagged resource in an alternate region while you wait for approval.
{% endhint %}

### Return to the Installer

Once Microsoft has approved your quota request:

1. Return to the [Reporting Hub installer](https://license.thereportinghub.com/install).
2. Re-run the installation, selecting the same region you requested quota for.
3. The quota check on the **Resource Group** page should now show a green check for the resource that was previously flagged.
4. Continue through the remaining installation steps as described in [Self-Serve Guided Install](/getting-started/deployment-step-by-step/self-serve-guided-install.md).
