These best practices are extracted from our experience with Azure RBAC and the experiences of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <strong>AZ-303 exam is retired. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.testpreptraining.ai\/designing-microsoft-azure-infrastructure-solutions-az-305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AZ-305<\/a>\u00a0replacement is available.<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"only-grant-the-access-users-need\"><strong>Only grant the access users in need<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Azure RBAC, you can separate duties within your team and grant only the amount of access to users that they need to perform their jobs. Instead of giving everybody, without any restrictions on permissions in your Azure subscription or resources, you can permit only certain actions at a particular scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When team is planning your access control strategy, it&#8217;s a best practice to grant users the least privilege to get the work done. The diagram given below shows a suggested pattern for using Azure RBAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/role-based-access-control\/media\/best-practices\/rbac-least-privilege.png\" alt=\"Azure RBAC and least privilege Best practices for Azure RBAC &amp; Viewing Role Assignments\"\/><figcaption>Image Source &#8211; Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limit-the-number-of-subscription-owners\"><strong>Limit the number of subscription owners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be having a maximum of 3 subscription owners to lessen the potential for breach by a compromised owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-azure-ad-privileged-identity-management\"><strong>Use Azure AD Privileged Identity Management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep safe privileged accounts from malicious cyber-attacks, you can use Azure Active Directory Privileged Identity Management (PIM). It will lower the exposure time of privileges and increase your visibility into their use through reports and alerts. PIM will help to protect privileged accounts by providing just-in-time privileged access to Azure AD and Azure resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"view-role-assignments\"><strong>Viewing role assignments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The way that you watch the access for a user is to list their roles assignments. Follow the below mentioned steps to viewing the role assignments for a single user, group, service principal, or managed identity at the subscription scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Visit Azure portal, choose&nbsp;<strong>All services<\/strong>&nbsp;and then&nbsp;<strong>Subscriptions<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Subsequently, choose your subscription.<\/li><li>choose&nbsp;<strong>Access control (IAM)<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Furthermore, choose the&nbsp;<strong>Check access<\/strong>&nbsp;tab.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/role-based-access-control\/media\/check-access\/access-control-check-access.png\" alt=\"Access control - Check access tab\"><\/li><li>Also, In the&nbsp;<strong>Find<\/strong>&nbsp;list, choose the type of security principal you want to check access for.<\/li><li>Subsequently, In the search box, type a string to search the directory for display names, email addresses, or object identifiers.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/role-based-access-control\/media\/check-access\/check-access-select.png\" alt=\"Check access select list\"><\/li><li>Now, choose the security principal to open the&nbsp;<strong>assignments<\/strong>&nbsp;pane.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/role-based-access-control\/media\/check-access\/check-access-assignments.png\" alt=\"assignments pane\">Now, On this pane, you can see the roles assigned to the selected security principal and the scope.
