1. Azure RBAC – Role-Based Access Control Subtitle:Managing Permissions in Microsoft Azure

2. Introduction to Azure RBAC • Definition: Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a system for managing user permissions in Azure. • Purpose: Controls who can access Azure resources and what actions they can perform. • Key Benefit: Ensures security by granting only necessary permissions based on roles.

3. Why Use Azure RBAC? • Granular Access Control – Assign specific permissions to users, groups, or applications. • Security & Compliance – Restricts access based on the principle of least privilege. • Scalability – Easily manage permissions across multiple resources and teams. • Simplified Management – Uses predefined roles to reduce administrative overhead.

4. How Azure RBAC Works • Security Principal: The user, group, or service that needs access. • Role Definition: A set of permissions defining allowed actions (e.g., Reader, Contributor, Owner). • Scope: The level at which the role is assigned (e.g., Subscription, Resource Group, Resource). • Role Assignment: Binding the role to a security principal at a specific scope.

5. Built-in Roles in Azure RBAC • Owner – Full access to resources, including permission management. • Contributor – Can create and manage resources but cannot assign roles. • Reader – Can view resources but cannot make changes. • User Access Administrator – Can manage access but not resources.

6. Custom Roles in Azure RBAC • Why Custom Roles? When built-in roles don’t fit specific needs. • Custom Role Definition: Specify exact permissions using JSON-based policies. • Example: A role that allows users to restart virtual machines but not delete them.

7. Azure RBAC vs. Access Control Lists (ACLs)

8. Best Practices for Using Azure RBAC • Follow the Least Privilege Principle – Grant only necessary permissions. • Use Groups Instead of Individuals – Easier to manage access. • Regularly Review Role Assignments – Prevent excessive access. • Monitor Access with Azure Policy & Logging – Track changes and audit permissions.

9. Conclusion & Next Steps • Azure RBAC is a powerful tool for managing permissions efficiently and securely. • Helps enforce least privilege access and enhances security. • Next steps: Implement Azure RBAC in your organization and regularly review access policies. • Q&A Session
