What are the differences between Azure RBAC roles?

What are the differences between Azure RBAC roles?

Azure RBAC roles define permissions for users in Azure. Key roles include Owner, Contributor, and Reader. Owner has full access, Contributor can manage resources but not access permissions, and Reader can only view resources.

Can you explain the Owner role in more detail?

The Owner role in Azure RBAC allows full access to all resources, including the ability to assign roles to others. This role is typically assigned to administrators.

What about the Contributor role? What can it do?

The Contributor role can create and manage all types of Azure resources but cannot grant access to others. It's ideal for users who need to manage resources without altering permissions.

Are there any built-in roles for specific services?

Yes, Azure provides built-in roles tailored for specific services, like Virtual Machine Contributor or Storage Account Contributor, which grant permissions specific to those services.
