    Hi @OllieP ,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    To add the user and grant them contributor rights, you should have User Administrator or Global Administrator role.

    You can refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/add-users#add-a-new-user to add new user to Azure portal.

    Once user has been created, you can assign the Azure built in Contributor role to user using below steps:

    Sign in to the Azure portal.

    1. In the Search box at the top, search for the Subscriptions.
    2. Click on Access Control (IAM) and click on Add to "Add role assignment".

    In Privileged administrator role you can select Contributor and select the user to which you want to assign the role to.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks,

    Shweta
