Deployment slots on Web App to different resource groups

Question

I am having different slots for a web app on azure for dev, test, production. I need to move different slots to their respective resource groups.

Can different slots for a single web app be in different resource groups? I tried to move a slot to different resource but gives me error (The list of resources in move definition cannot be null or empty. (Code: InvalidResourceMoveRequest)). Cannot make out much from the error. Is there a way to get more details on this error somewhere?

Thanks!

You could not move the slot to other resource group, because the azure slot is not a top level resource. This means that you could move the top level resource in order to move the child resource.

You could get more details about the limitation when moving resources to new group or subscription.
