What is Azure Role-Based Access Control with examples?
What is Azure RBAC?
Azure RBAC stands for “Role-Based Access Control” in Microsoft Azure, which is a security model used to manage access to Azure resources. It allows administrators to grant users or groups access to specific resources based on their assigned roles. With Azure RBAC, you can control who has access to your resources, what they can do with those resources, and what areas they can access.
Here are some examples of Azure RBAC roles:
Owner: The owner role grants full access to all resources within a subscription. This role allows users to create, delete, and modify all resources.
Contributor: The contributor role allows users to create and manage resources, but they cannot grant access to others or delete resources they did not create.
Reader: The reader role allows users to view resources but does not allow any changes to be made to them.
User Access Administrator: This role allows users to manage access to resources for other users.
Virtual Machine Contributor: The virtual machine contributor role allows users to create and manage virtual machines.
Network Contributor: The network contributor role allows users to create and manage network resources such as virtual networks, subnets, and network security groups.
Storage Account Contributor: The storage account contributor role allows users to create and manage storage accounts.

These are just a few examples of the many roles available in Azure RBAC. By assigning roles to users or groups, you can control who has access to your resources and what they can do with them.
