I'm creating a Policy and succeeded to create that, though while a re-mediate it using Remediation tasks in azure portal, it fails and prompts me following error

The Resource 'microsoft.insights/actiongroups/HmActionGroup' under resource group '' was not found. this is a format of resource in arm templates for policy. In my case i have provided location as "global"

Any help will be highly appreciated

This is full text error as shown here : {"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details.","details":[{"code":"NotFound","message":"{\r\n \"error\": {\r\n \"code\": \"ResourceNotFound\",\r\n \"message\": \"The Resource 'microsoft.insights/actiongroups/HmActionGroup' under resource group '<null>' was not found.\"\r\n }\r\n}"}]} — Sachin Kalia
@4c74356b41 I have added policy definition for your reference — Sachin Kalia

To deploy at the subscription level you need to use the subscription deployment schema in your template:

"$schema":"https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2018-05-01/subscriptionDeploymentTemplate.json#"
