I'm trying to use `pulumi import` to import an existing Azure resource group. I'm trying to specify the resource group as the `--parent` but am getting `error: an inline resource must be specified if no import file is used.`  Is there an example of importing an Azure resource that I can compare against?

I'm not clear on what the "type" should be for an Azure resource group.

Also not sure if I can just use the resource group name or something more fully qualified

oh right the resource group, sorry. I’m not sure what you mean by
&gt; I’m trying to specify the resource group as the `--parent`

Can you tell me what you tried that resulted in that error?

<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/azure-native/resources/resourcegroup/#import>
The format is:
```pulumi import [type] [name] [id]```
So:
```pulumi import azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup myResourceGroup /subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/myResourceGroup```

I tried this:
`pulumi import azure-native:resources:ResourceGroup "/subscriptions/{subscription guid}/resourceGroups/{resource group name}"` but no go

you’re missing the name arg, you have `pulumi import [type] [id]`

`name` is what you would like to call the resource in your pulumi program
