Documentation: Microsoft Learn
Get-AzResourceGroup returns every group in the subscription the context points at, and the projection keeps the group name with its location and provisioning state.

How it works
Get-AzResourceGroup returns every group in the subscription the context points at, and the projection keeps the group name with its location and provisioning state.
Adapting it
Add a calculated property that joins the Tags hashtable into a string so cost center and owner tags appear in the same table, which is normally the reason anyone asked for the list.
Requirements
Az.Resources with a Connect-AzAccount session.
If the result is unexpected
The resource-group list is unexpectedly short.
The current subscription or access scope may exclude the groups the operator expects.
- Confirm the subscription and compare one known resource-group name and location.
Validate the result
The report matches the intended subscription and includes its identifier.
Keep the check reliable
Require explicit subscription selection before inventory collection.
