Are built-in role Guids the same in Azure Government and Azure China?

Question

Are built-in role Guids the same in Azure Government and Azure China?

Martin Liptak 116 Microsoft Employee

Exploring Azure Active Directory, I can see that, for example, the role "Teams Communications Administrator" has Template Id "baf37b3a-610e-45da-9e62-d9d1e5e8914b".

Can I hardcode role Guids into my app to eventually run in the Azure Government and Azure China? Or do these Azure clouds have different role Ids than Azure Public?

Thank you!

@Martin Liptak Thank you for reaching out to us. As I understand you are looking for information related to Template Id for Azure AD Roles are same or not between Azure AD Global & Azure China/Government clouds.

I am checking with my team internally whether Template Id are same or different between Azure AD Global & Azure China/Government Clouds.

As far I know there is a separate Azure portal for each one of the national clouds. The individual national clouds and the global Azure cloud are cloud instances. Each cloud instance is separate from the others and has its own environment and endpoints.

Once I have more details on this, I will revert back.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.

Thank you Givary! Were you able to find out more details? I don't have access to Govt or China cloud instances to verify this myself.

@Martin Liptak Researched on your ask, you can refer to below articles

https://docs.azure.cn/zh-cn/active-directory/roles/permissions-reference - Built in roles info for Azure China Cloud.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/roles/permissions-reference - Built in roles info for Azure Global Cloud.

As per this documentation template (for example teams communications administrator) matches with both clouds.

You can refer to the above documentation for other built-in roles.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
