I am encountering a 'DenyAssignmentAuthorizationFailed' error when trying to delete the resource group. The error message indicates that there is a deny assignment preventing the deletion.

Hi Anup Thomas,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!
Deny Assignment that is preventing the deletion of your resource group. This is a common issue when certain policies or assignments are in place to restrict actions on resources
I suggest few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue.
Identify the Deny Assignment: Check the resource group or the specific resource to identify the deny assignment. You can do this through the Azure portal or by using Azure CLI/PowerShell.

Remove the Deny Assignment:
Azure Portal: Navigate to the resource group, go to the "Access control (IAM)" section, and look for any deny assignments. If you find one, you may need the necessary permissions to remove it.
Check for Managed Applications: If the deny assignment was created by a managed application, you might need to delete the managed application first https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.resources/remove-azroleassignment?view=azps-13.0.0

Remove-AzRoleAssignment -ObjectId <ObjectId> -Scope <Scope> -RoleDefinitionName <RoleName>

Deployment Stacks: If the deny assignment was applied by a deployment stack, you might need to manage it through the deployment stack settings

The DenyAssignmentAuthorizationFailed error occurs when there is a deny assignment blocking your access to perform the deletion:
