My company currently has a policy in place that requires all resources to be deployed in South Central US or North Central US. I'm trying to add a 'Microsoft.Authorization/locks@2016-09-01' resource (via BICEP). I cannot find any documentation that states there is a location property to a resource group lock, or how to set it. The custom policy is failing due to location not being in one of those regions.

Is there anyway to set the resource group locks region/location? Are they a resource with no 'location'?
