Thank you for asking this question on the Microsoft Q&A Platform.

You can automate that task by creating a PowerShell script, for example:

$RGs = "rg1", "rg2", "rg3" $USER = "user@domain.com" $RGs | ForEach-Object { New-AzRoleAssignment -ResourceGroupName $_ -SignInName $USER -RoleDefinitionName Owner -AllowDelegation }

With that script, you can assign the role of the Owner to multiple resources group to one user.

More info about the command New-AzRoleAssignment

Hope this helps!

Thanks Carlos.

but to add 250+ resource groups like this is a long script.

$RGs = "rg1", "rg2", "rg3", , , , , , , , , (till last rg) "rg250"

Is there any script to mention all these rg's in csv file.

You can use the Powershell command Import-Csv for example

$RGs = Import-Csv -Path .\myrgs.csv

You can substitute the fist-like with the example.

Now, how you will call that variable will depend on the structure of your CSV file.

if in the csv file the variable is called "ResourceGroup" the final script it like tis

$RGs = Import-Csv -Path .\myrgs.csv $USER = "user@domain.com" $RGs.ResourceGroup | ForEach-Object { New-AzRoleAssignment -ResourceGroupName $_ -SignInName $USER -RoleDefinitionName Owner -AllowDelegation }

Hope this helps!
