Also provides guidance on permissions required to grant roles. WHEN: bicep for role assignment, what role should I assign, least privilege role, RBAC role for, role to read blobs, role for managed identity, custom role definition, assign role to identity, what role do I need to grant access, permissions to assign roles." license: MIT metadata: author: Microsoft version: "1.1.1"

Use the 'azure__documentation' tool to find the minimal role definition that matches the desired permissions the user wants to assign to an identity. If no built-in role matches the desired permissions, use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to create a custom role definition with the desired permissions. Then use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to generate the CLI commands needed to assign that role to the identity. Finally, use the 'azure__bicepschema' and 'azure__get_azure_bestpractices' tools to provide a Bicep code snippet for adding the role assignment. If user is asking about role necessary to set access, refer to Prerequisites for Granting Roles down below:

Prerequisites for Granting Roles

To assign RBAC roles to identities, you need a role that includes the Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permission. The most common roles with this permission are:

User Access Administrator (least privilege - recommended for role assignment only)
Owner (full access including role assignment)
Custom Role with Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write
