Helper ITwo capacities in the same resource group
Rafaela07 Resource groups on Azure should follow your organizational policies on resource separation and naming conventions. Resource groups provide region affiliation, security context and a deployment scope. In many cases resource groups are used to separate production vs non production resources.
In enterprise-grade scenarios responsibilities of managing Azure and Fabric can be assigned to different groups, for example IT and Data Engineering. Fabric Capacity, while an Azure resource, still logically belong to Data Engineering domain but resource management should follow the Azure conventions.
The best practice of resource groups is to use different resource gorups for production and non-production resources, different regions, and different workloads. For example, a resource group that is reserved for non-production Fabric resources (capacities) is usually separate from a resource group for production Fabric resources.

Super UserHey Rafaela07 , this really depends on how you want to manage the capacities in Azure (or how your company asks you to).
You can manage them both in the same Resource Group. However, if you need to follow any standards it may be the case that you need to split capacities into separate resource groups to represent the different environments.
Separate Resurce Groups for different environments can be better if you need to manage them collectively as far as permissions and automated tasks are concerned. In addition, it is an easier focus area if you need to purchase reserve capacity in the future.
I hope this helps.
