ResourceGroup does not exist

Error message

ResourceGroup does not exist

What it means

internalSetNamespaceResourceGroup checks that the named resource group exists before binding it to the namespace; the lookup failed, so the assignment is rejected because the policy would reference a nonexistent resource group.

Solutions

1. Create the resource group first (pulsar-admin resourcegroups create), then retry the namespace binding
2. Check for typos in the resource group name
