Granting data access to groups or multiple users for Time Series Insights

Question

I have a new Time Series Insights (Preview) environment and want to assign a reader data access role to all the members of our team. The only way I can find to do this is use the web portal and go through the multiple-step process for each individual. It's doable for 5 people but won't scale to 100 people, and will require manual maintenance of the list as team members join or leave. Is there a way to grant data access permissions to a group or do a bulk add?

Hi Matt,
You can use Time Series Insights REST API .

See: Access Policies - Overview

Create or update an access policy in the specified environment. Example:

PUT https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rg1/providers/Microsoft.TimeSeriesInsights/environments/env1/accessPolicies/ap1?api-version=2018-08-15-preview  

Request Body

{  
  "properties": {  
    "principalObjectId": "aGuid",  
    "roles": [  
      "Reader"  
    ],  
    "description": "some description"  
  }  
}
