Set a Scope
By default, the scope for your Reservation will be Shared. This means the discount will be applied to any matching resources within your billing context. In most cases, the billing context will be the Azure subscriptions created by the account admin. If you need to ensure the discount is applied to the correct resources, you can modify the scope to either a single subscription or resource group. To change the scope to a subscription, you will need to be an owner of the Azure subscription.
You can modify the scope under the Configuration blade.
