Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Thanks for the feedback! We are routing this to the appropriate team for follow-up. cc @josephkwchan, @jennyhunter-msft.

@helge12 - This behavior is as expected and not a bug. Some features are hidden and require approval by the service team. In this case, you would need to ensure that the Microsoft.Compute team has allowlisted the SIGSoftDelete feature for your pending subscriptions in order for the registration to complete.

Closing as by design

How can I know as a user that a feature requires approval by a product team?
My issue appears related (although occurs with feature 'SIGSharing').

SCENARIO

Deploy an Azure Compute Gallery (Microsoft.Compute/galleries@2023-07-03)
Get error message:
Subscription 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' is not registered with the feature Microsoft.Compute/SIGSharing. Please register the subscription before retrying the call.

Register feature SIGSharing as recommended:

az feature register --namespace Microsoft.Compute --name SIGSharing
az provider register --namespace Microsoft.Compute

ISSUE

The state of the feature SIGSharing stays 'pending', for ever and ever.
From a user perspective I have no clue or indication what is going on.

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/providers/Microsoft.Features/providers/Microsoft.Compute/features/SIGSharing",
  "name": "Microsoft.Compute/SIGSharing",
  "properties": {
    "state": "Pending"
  },
  "type": "Microsoft.Features/providers/features"
}

WORKAROUND

I will fallback to an older API version, that does not require SIGSharing.
(that should work since I do not really use this feature: sharingProfile/permissions: 'Private')

REQUEST

As a user, I'd appreciate a warning that 'an approval by others' is required, or time to completion make take a really long time ⚠️
Even just a warning log entry in an activity log would be really helpful! 🤓
