Managing Role-Based Access Control

In the previous chapter, we covered the second part of this book's objective by covering how to analyze resource utilization and consumption in Azure. We've covered how to monitor different Azure resources using Azure Monitor, and how to use Azure Log Analytics to query the logs. 

This chapter will cover the last part of the Managing Azure Subscriptions and Resources objective by covering role-based access control (RBAC). You'll learn how to configure access to Azure resources by assigning RBAC roles from the Azure portal. You'll also learn how to configure management access by assigning global administrators to your Azure subscription and other resources. You'll learn how to create custom roles, which you can apply when custom permissions are needed for your users. This chapter will finish by covering Azure policies and how you can apply them to your Azure resources.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

• RBAC
• Configuring access to Azure resources by assigning roles
• Configuring management access to Azure
• Creating a custom role
• Azure Policy
• Implementing and assigning Azure policies
